Advanced Entry via RPL/Top-Up

Applicants holding a relevant Level 4 and 5 qualifications may qualify for advanced entry via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Up to 50% of course credits (exceedable in exceptional cases) may be exempted if prior learning outcomes align with the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BScCS) curriculum. Furthermore, credit transfer provisions is also available to facilitate progression to a top-up degree. To ensure contemporary relevance, prior qualifications must have been awarded within the preceding five years.

Subject to a 20% distance learning discount (15% + 5%)*, the BScCS programme incorporating up to 50% or greater RPL exemption or a top-up pathway offers two payment options: (i) a £100 intention to study fee plus a £3950 full payment; or (ii) a £100 fee plus 12 monthly instalments of £350.

This reduced fee encompasses essential academic provisions, including tutorial support, learning materials, assessments, and certification. Prior learning will be evaluated by the Admissions team to determine eligibility and credit exemptions.
