Introduction
If you're looking to apply for a Master's program but haven't completed your Bachelor's degree, there are alternative pathways available. This article explains the options of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Performance-Based Admission.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
RPL allows candidates to apply for admission based on significant work experience and professional certifications, even if they haven't completed a formal Bachelor's degree. Typically, around 5 years of relevant work experience is required.
Performance-Based Admission
This option does not require a completed Bachelor's degree or extensive work experience. It allows you to begin your studies and later switch to standard admission once your Bachelor's degree is completed.
Next Steps
Evaluate your professional experience and certifications to determine if they meet the RPL requirements.
Consider applying for Performance-Based Admission if you do not meet the RPL criteria.
Submit an Eligibility Check or RPL application if you believe you qualify.
