Master of Social Impact and Not-for-Profit Management

Yes. If you receive a UTS offer of enrolment and have undertaken previous studies at another institution or have significant relevant employment experience, you may be eligible to apply for recognition of prior learning. UTS assesses RPL only after an enrolment offer is accepted.

You will be notified of your RPL outcome via your UTS webmail account within four to six weeks of application submission.

International students should apply for RPL when applying for their UTS course to ensure processing before their letter of offer is issued. They should also consider the impact of RPL on their course duration and student visa requirements.

RPL may be granted as either specified credit (subject exemption), when prior learning is equivalent to a specific UTS subject, or unspecified credit (unspecified elective/general advanced standing), when prior learning counts towards an elective component but is not equivalent to a specific UTS subject.

You must provide certified official academic records, qualifications, and supporting evidence such as subject outlines, comparison tables, or portfolios. Non-English documents must be officially translated and submitted with certified copies.
