The ˽·¿tvÖ±²¥ is committed to supporting widening participation and access to our academic programmes. This includes recognising the existing achievements of applicants in terms of prior awards, qualifications and certified study.

Our commitment to this is outlined in our Recognition of Prior Learning Policy (RPL).
