Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Our pre-registration postgraduate diplomas and master's degrees in nursing are accelerated courses, so they're shorter than usual.

To be considered for the postgraduate diploma you must submit evidence of:
990 hours of relevant theoretical learning from your first degree or employment
110 hours of practice worked in a healthcare environment under the supervision of a registered healthcare professional
You can still apply for the PGDip without any practice experience. We offer an option to complete these hours during the first 8 months of the course.
To be considered for the master's degree you must submit:
325 hours of relevant theoretical learning from your first degree or employment
675 hours of practice worked in a healthcare environment under the supervision of a registered healthcare professional
