Accreditation of prior learning
If you have studied towards a similar programme elsewhere, you may be able to transfer your credits.
You can apply for recognition of Accredited Prior Learning (APL) for a maximum of 60 credits for a master’s degree (and for 40 or 20 credits for a diploma or certificate).
APL is most likely to be recognised if you have started a similar course at another university but were unable to continue due to relocation.
