Step 2 - What Prior Learning Counts?

You can only claim for prior learning that is relevant to your proposed award. You therefore need to find out what learning is expected for your degree. You can find this information by carefully looking at the units of study included in your degree. To do this you need to look at the unit descriptors. These are available by searching for the appropriate course using the codes below. Please make sure you have ticked the 'Courses' box under 'Search Type'.

• C1592P - BSc (Hons) Counter Fraud & Criminal Justice Studies
• C2113P - BSc (Hons) Crime & Criminology
• C1565P - BSc (Hons) Risk & Security Management
• C1839P - FdA Investigation & Evidence
• C1513P - FdA Police Studies

Please note that your prior learning must be within 5 years unless you can prove that it is active through your professinal role. See FAQs for further information.

Work-based project units

Students who have previously completed a project at work may claim credit for this learning if it is equivalent to the learning outcomes of other units. Alternatively they could choose to submit this project within the regulations for the work-based project unit on their degree.
