RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)
RPL is the recognition of previously acquired learning which can be mapped against particular learning
outcomes of modules within a programme. RPL may be awarded if you have previously studied a similar
subject in the same depth, at degree level, and you achieved good marks in the corresponding examination. A
student who is awarded RPL for a specific module is considered to be exempted from this module.

The qualification on which your RPL is based must have been obtained within the five years preceding the
application.
