What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.

The module explores the appropriate criteria, metalanguage and visual grammar for reading and interpreting photographic images. The course also explores the principles of photography within its contemporary and historical contexts.
