Turn Your Experience into Degree Credits
Get formal academic credit for what you already know. Woolf’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program lets professionals convert years of work experience into university credits, saving time, reducing cost, and accelerating your degree.
What Counts Toward RPL?
You may be eligible for credit exemptions if you have:
Relevant full-time work experience that aligns with the subject of your degree.
Recognized industry certificates or credentials that demonstrate equivalent learning
Courses completed at another accredited university that were part of a degree you didn’t finish.
Why Apply for RPL?
You’ve spent years solving real-world problems, managing teams, writing code, building products, or leading research. Through RPL, Woolf formally recognizes that learning, awarding you credits toward an accredited degree.
Save Time: Complete your degree up to 30% faster.
Save Money: Pay only for the courses you still need.
Stay Relevant: Focus your learning on new, future-oriented skills.
Global Recognition: Credits awarded under the ECTS system, recognised across 50+ countries including the US and Canada.
Academic Integrity: Every exemption is reviewed by qualified faculty under Woolf’s EU-accredited standards.
A Simple, Transparent Process
Woolf’s RPL process evaluates your professional achievements against the learning outcomes of accredited courses. If your experience meets the academic standard, you’ll earn official exemptions.
