Recognition of Prior Learning
Welcome
Welcome to Dublin City University’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) hub.
People who may not have the academic qualifications but have relevant work/life experience are encouraged to apply to DCU. Your formal education achievements, career to date, informal education, and life experiences are all important for RPL because DCU values all relevant learning. This means that your existing knowledge or life experiences could help you to gain entry to an undergraduate and/or postgraduate programme here in DCU. RPL can also be used for advanced entry and module exemptions.
