Recognition of experience
Recognition of experience is a way for employed or otherwise experienced adults who don’t meet a programme’s admission requirements but can prove ample professional and/or personal experience to access higher education programmes (bachelor’s or master’s degree, university certificate).
An applicant must have at least five years of experience relevant to the programme in question, and submit a dossier for evaluation by a jury that determines whether the applicant has the requisite knowledge and abilities. The jury also determines any additional coursework or course waivers in order to tailor the programme.
