Entry requirements
Applicants should have a Level 6 qualification in a relevant science and engineering discipline (e.g. Instrumentation or related area). Applicants with significant relevant industrial experience or professional qualifications and/or training may also be considered via MTU’s RPL policy. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
