Option 2: Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL is strictly only available to students with a core ‘MWL’ coded WIL unit in their degree. 

If you have a minimum of 3 years full-time Australian work experience (within the last 5 years), in a discipline related role, you may be eligible to apply for RPL. Post-graduate students must also have demonstrated leadership experience.^{^}

Students must provide evidence of learnings, and their achievement against the learning outcomes of eligible unit MWL318 (undergraduate students) or MWL718 (post-graduate students) to support their application. Please note that students are only able to obtain RPL for one WIL unit (MWL318 or MWL718) based on their work experience.

When applying for RPL based on work experience, you will need to provide the following documentation:

• a professional CV
• the official position description of the role
• a written statement addressing the unit learning outcomes (ULOs)
• a verifying statement from a supervisor/employer on company letterhead stating that they have read your application and that what you have stated is an accurate statement of your skills and knowledge.

Other useful documentation to include in support of your application include:

• evidence of training programmes attended
• references from employers outlining your responsibilities
• letters from clients
• evaluations from supervisors
• job descriptions
• documented work tasks.

Applications are managed by Domestic Admissions and International Admissions and are assessed in accordance with the RPL policy.
