Master of Speech Pathology

Yes, if you have undertaken previous studies at another institution or have significant relevant employment experience, you may be eligible to apply for RPL after receiving an offer of enrolment. RPL can be granted as specified credit (subject exemption) or unspecified credit (unspecified elective/general advanced standing), depending on how your prior learning aligns with UTS subjects.

Domestic applicants should submit their RPL application after receiving a course offer and before their initial enrolment. For late UAC offers, applications should be submitted at enrolment or as soon as possible, but no later than one week after the start of the teaching session.

International students are advised to apply for RPL when applying for their UTS course to ensure it is processed before the letter of offer is issued. This is important as RPL may affect course duration and student visa requirements. Applications made after the first session will only be considered in exceptional circumstances.

You will be notified of your RPL outcome via your UTS webmail account within four to six weeks of application submission. All RPL decisions are final as per the Admissions and RPL Policy, though if dissatisfied you can submit a complaint to the Student Complaints Resolution Office or seek review from the Student Ombudsman.

You need to provide certified official academic records, qualifications, and supporting evidence such as subject outlines, comparison tables, or portfolios. Official academic records must be certified and sighted as true copies by authorised offices such as the UTS Student Centre, a Justice of the Peace, or an Australian Overseas Diplomatic Mission. Non-English documents must be officially translated and submitted with certified copies.
