Obtain recognition of prior learning RPL

Recognition of prior learning is a process where, following a review, your various prior professional and learning experiences may be officially recognized.

Recognition of prior learning

The recognition of prior learning (RPL) process is based on identifying and validating learning experiences according to the program and course objectives and established criteria; the process is available for all levels of study.  

 

 

This process provides applicants who only partially meet a university program’s eligibility conditions with the opportunity to be admitted to this program if they demonstrate that they have the necessary skills to meet the program requirements.

A more extensive list of study programs will be available to all applicants based on availability in each of the university’s faculties. This list will be updated in the upcoming months.

Have you already been admitted to a study program and consider that your academic and professional experiences could exempt you from certain courses, thus accelerating your training? 
 
To do this, you will have to demonstrate that your acquired skills correspond satisfactorily to the course learning objectives.
