What is recognition of prior learning?
The Recognition of Prior Learning is a process whereby students can be exempt from some parts of their chosen programme of academic study by recognition of their learning from  previous experiences or achievements as part of the admissions process.
It refers to the recognition of acquired ECTS credits/verification of learning outcomes through forms of prior formal education.

This reduces the number of courses required to complete student’s degree.

Applying for recognition of prior learning
In order to start the procedure of recognition of prior learning the following documentation is required:
