RPL can help you avoid repeating learning you already have and focus on building new knowledge and skills.
What is RPL?
RPL is a formal assessment process that considers your previous learning – whether it was gained through study, training or professional experience – and determines if it meets the learning outcomes and academic standards of subjects in your course.
If approved, RPL may be granted as course credit. If you are granted course credit, this may shorten the length of your program and help you save on tuition fees.

Who can apply?
You maybe be eligible for RPL if you have completed formal or non-formal study such as in the examples above.
RPL is available to both domestic and international students, subject to course requirements. All applications are assessed individually against the learning outcomes of the subjects in your chosen course.
How RPL can help you
RPL may help you to:
- reduce the number of subjects you need to complete
- shorten the overall time required to finish your degree
- avoid repeating learning you already have
- focus your studies on new and advanced knowledge
Approval of RPL depends on your individual application, evidence provided and alignment with subject learning outcomes. RPL is also subject to course-specific limits.
