ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR LEARNING (APL)
ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR LEARNING (APL)
Eligibility
APL is the recognition of previously acquired learning which can be mapped against particular learning outcomes of units within
a programme. APL may be awarded if you have previously studied a similar subject in the same depth, at degree level, and you
achieved good marks in the corresponding examination. A student who is awarded APL for a specific unit is considered to be
exempt from this unit. This means that the student is considered to have completed the unit for the purpose of progression within

record and will not contribute towards the award. APL is not awarded for units which you previously failed in the University of
London examinations. No APL will be given for Level 200 or 300 units. The following information is based on the University of
-POEPOT/FX3FHVMBUJPOT$BOEJEBUFTXJUIEJQMPNBRVBMJàDBUJPOTNBZBQQMZUPUIF6OJWFSTJUZPG-POEPOGPS
discretionary APL from up to four Level 100 units. A fee of £85 (full unit) or £43 (half unit) is charged by the University of London for
processing of discretionary APL (No fee is charged for automatic APL). Diploma in Economics candidates need not apply for APL.
The qualification on which your APL is based must have been obtained within the five years preceding the application. The

opt to forego the APL and take the paper.
SIM Bridging Courses & Automatic APL for Diploma Holders
The bridging courses are organised annually to help applicants attain APL from the respective course units if they score
B- (50%) or better and have the necessary polytechnic or SIM Diploma. The fee for each bridging course is S$642 (inclusive
of 7% GST). An application fee for these bridging courses is payable if you apply separately from your application for the
degree. Do complete the bridging course section when applying to SIM.
Bridging is not recommended for candidates applying to these programmes:

Automatic APL for Diploma Holders
Subject to the conditions stated, holders of the qualifications listed in the table (page 32-35) may apply for automatic APL
from the units listed under the qualification concerned. University of London does not impose any exemption application fee
for these automatic APL but one must apply for them in order to be granted exemption. Some programmes may qualify for
four full unit exemptions, but only three full units may be used in selected degrees. APL may only be used on degrees where
the units are available as stated in the degree structure.
Most polytechnic and SIM diploma graduates will be able to utilise APL for three full units in the degree of their choice. Eg. A
Ngee Ann Polytechnic Diploma in Business Studies graduate who has APL for MN1178, ST104A, MT105A (with bridging
Mathematics), EC1002 (with bridging Economics) and one unnamed Level 100 unit, will be able to obtain APL from four full
units in the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Business and Management as MN1178, ST104A, MT105A, EC1002 are available
in the degree. Another candidate with the same diploma who applies (with bridging) for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in
Banking & Finance degree will only be able to obtain APL from 3 full units as ST104A, MT105A, EC1002 are compulsory and
MN1178 is a Level 100 unit which can be fitted at line 5 of the degree.
If APL is given from 3 full units, students can complete 9 full units in two years if they complete the first four units at one
sitting, leaving five new units for the final year. Five full new units are only permitted for the final year if there are no other
resits. Candidates can also choose to complete 9 units over 3 years by taking 3 full units per year for 3 years.
The APL listed is not exhaustive. An updated APL table may be obtained from

Studying in SIM has made me more independent and
active in both academic and non-academic aspects.
