(How it works in Australia)

Credit for experience, the Australia way

In Australia, universities use Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and credit for prior learning, guided by the Australian Qualifications Framework. Your work experience and training are assessed against the learning outcomes of specific subjects, and each university sets its own credit limits for each course.

Your experience covers part of the degree, and you complete the remaining modules with the university, typically online and around your work.
