Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Many people in our society possess a variety of knowledge and abilities that they have acquired in the course of their lives, for which they did not obtain a study certificate. Such knowledge, skills, insight and attitudes can be recognised in higher education, thus making it possible to utilise these experiences. Such prior learning could potentially result in a competence certificate, which you could use to request exemptions for programme components (courses) within a particular educational programme.
THEA for refugees and non-native newcomers
THEA* is a flexible programme for refugees and non-native newcomers with higher education prospects. It is organised by the four institutions of the Antwerp University Association (Dutch: Associatie Universiteit & Hogescholen Antwerpen or AUHA).
