Recognition of prior learning
The University Recognition of Prior Learning Procedure has been reviewed in line with the QAA's UK Quality Code for Higher Education on Assessment, published in November 2025.
The Recognition of Prior Learning procedure sets out the procedure and process for applications to be considered from students who wish to transfer to the University of Sussex with credit achieved at another University. The procedure also sets out the process for Sussex students who have left the University to reapply to the same course or a different course. The application process and criteria are set out in the Recognition of Prior Learning Procedure [PDF 181.33KB]
