Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL is the recognition of previously acquired learning which may be awarded if you have previously studied a similar module in the same depth, 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 the module. 

You would need to complete all coursework and assessment for your Polytechnic or SIM Diploma before you embark on the bridging course. The qualification must have been obtained within the five years preceding the application for RPL.  

Qualifications that do not qualify for an automatic exemption will require an exemption application fee of £113 per full module or £58 per half module. For the bridging courses listed in the next section which meet the UOL automatic exemption requirement, no exemption application fee is needed. 

For more information on RPL, visit the UOL website.
