ACCS

ACCS is an acronym for “Accumulation of Credits and Certification of Subjects”. This scheme allows students (for specified courses) – instead of studying an entire course – to study one or more modules of that course. Modules passed, are certified individually, and can be accumulated, leading to an award of Higher Certificate, Degree or Honours Degree.

Entry Requirements

An Ordinary Bachelor Degree in Business or Equivalent.

N.B. This programme is designed to be undertaken over one academic year and one semester. A total of 60 credits (12 modules) is required to complete the programme. A maximum of 40 credits (8 modules) can normally be undertaken in the first academic year.

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.
