Qualifications Entry Requirements - Section 4

Accreditation of Prior Learning and Experience

Bradford College University Centre recognises some of you entering Higher Education courses may already possess significant skills and knowledge relating to your studies. Such skills and knowledge may have been gained on other Higher Education courses, or through uncertificated studies, life and work experience in either the UK or abroad.

In such instances Bradford College University Centre is, in principle, prepared to consider awarding credit to students for this prior learning.

In order to gain credit towards a course, you must be able to demonstrate to the Admissions Tutor, that you can fulfil the following criteria:

• There is close match between your prior learning and the learning outcomes of specific study units or levels of study within a course.
• Your knowledge and skills are current and valid, capable of objective assessment and verification.
• Your knowledge and skills are of sufficient quality and quantity to be regarded as equivalent to elements of a programme of study.
  

Applicants admitted with credit will be awarded credit points towards a specific programme. Applicants deemed to have sufficient credit may secure entry with advanced standing to higher levels of a programme.
