Credit Calculator
With Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), you could be given credit for prior formal studies and work experience which will reduce the duration of your degree. The Credit Calculator allows you to determine eligible credits, based on your previous studies from another institution. It is intended as a guide to help you plan your study.
You may still be eligible for credit for RPL, even if your country, institution or program/course is not listed.
