WHAT IS RPEL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPEL) is when formal recognition is given for relevant learning already obtained prior to starting on a programme or module. That learning may have been attained in a formal, non-formal and informal experience or context.
Formal Learning refers to learning delivered by education and training providers for which formal certification has been awarded.
Non-Formal Learning is usually acquired through planned activities (such as short courses, workshops or seminars) but does not usually result in a formal award.
Informal Learning takes place through life and work experience and is usually referred to as experiential learning. It generally refers to learning that is unintentional or unplanned where the learner will often be unaware of how a particular experience is contributing to their knowledge and/or skills.Maynooth University can assess your previous learning for two main purposes; Programme Admissions may be allowed through the recognition of prior formal, informal and/or experiential learning. Successful applicants are granted access or, in some cases, advanced access to their chosen programme. Such admissions are processed via the University’s Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) policy.
Module Exemptions/Credits may be granted based on prior formal learning at Maynooth University or another institution. Applications for exemptions/credits are processed via the Exemption Request GSF13 Form.
REPL APPLICATION PROCESS for NON-EU STUDENTS
Begin your application on PAC (www.pac.ie) . As part of the normal PAC application process, you will need to indicate via a tick box that you are interested in submitting an RPEL application. Upload the completed RPEL form to PAC.ie as part of your online application. Receipt of your application will be acknowledged via the PAC.ie system. Applicants should document the academic courses which you have successfully completed prior to making your application. If you also have relevant experiential learning, please ensure this is also noted on your application form.
Please note that your RPEL application will not be formally considered by our REPL & Admissions Team until it is submitted via the appropriate channel as outlined above.
Applicants will usually be invited to attend for interview after which you may be required to complete a portfolio detailing your prior learning.
The RPEL process is managed by the Graduate Studies Office. Please email queries to graduatestudies@mu.ie
