How to apply or transfer if you already have relevant experience or qualifications
Thinking of transferring institutions? We may be able to count the credits you've earned towards your LIBF degree.
Taken a non-traditional study path? We can take your professional experience into account.
Want to achieve your degree faster? Your prior learning could mean you're exempt from some modules.
The process
If you’ve studied before or have other individual qualifications, it only takes a few simple steps to find out if your prior learning can be recognised.
Step 1 – Find an LIBF online degree that aligns with your ambitions and submit your application. Already an LIBF student? No problem, you can proceed directly to Step 2.
Step 2 – Talk to one of our Study Advisers about your personal recognition options and for advice on the recognition process.
Step 3 – Think you meet the criteria? Go ahead and complete our Recognition of Prior Learning form.

Step 4 - Once you’ve completed the Recognition of Prior Learning form and provided the relevant information, please send it to us at recognition-online@libf.ac.uk. We’ll let you know which modules of your degree you're exempt from.
You may need to provide the following:
your CV with detailed information about your career path and your roles and responsibilities
academic and professional qualifications and training/CPD activities (if they were gained in the last seven years)
employment references or employer certificates.
