Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning, Transfer Process and Progression Agreements
Welcome to the RPL and Transfer guidance page for the School of Nursing and Midwifery and School of Life and Health Sciences.
It covers the process of RPL towards both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It will also explain how to transfer BCU credits you have gained from modules and interim awards during your time studying with us into a BCU award such as a Postgraduate Certificate / Diploma or Master’s.
There are two mechanisms through which BCU can recognise your prior learning:
-
RPL process for those who have studied and gained university credits at a different institution to BCU.
-
Transfer process for those who have gained university credits studying courses at BCU.
If you think you can apply for RPL or Transfer of BCU credits towards a particular course and wish to gain advice about this process please email:
LHS.RPL@bcu.ac.uk (for courses within the School of Life and Health Sciences and departments of Health and Care Professions and Sports and Life Sciences).
