Admission via APEL

Overview - APEL.A

You may now enrol in an academic programme based on your prior working experience.

We acknowledge your professional experience through APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning) and your eligibility to enroll in a formal education programme.

What is APEL?

APEL stands for Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning. It is a systematic process involving the identification, documentation, and evaluation of prior experiential learning, which includes knowledge, skills, and attitudes, to determine the extent to which an individual has attained the desired learning outcomes for admission to a programme of study through APEL for Access (APEL.A).

Why APEL.A?

APEL.A recognises the learning regardless of how or where it was acquired for programme admission. It provides opportunities for those with work experience but no academic or professional credentials to continue their education at UNITEN for the following levels of study:

Level 4 MQF (Diploma)
Level 6 MQF (Bachelor's Degree)
