Abstract

The paper uses social policy theory (SPT) in the context of a UK university (UKU) and RLtd to explore the nature of the APEL relationship. Surveys sent to students and other stakeholders along with the literary evidence provide data for this study. The paper argues that through the enactment and analysis of APEL, traditional approaches are highlighted, which show that APEL can lead to “taken for granted practices” in HE, and become embodied as urban myth, and that many aspects of APEL don’t appear changed over time; However the paper also argues that the enactment of APEL policy in different contexts can extend the concept, engagement and understanding of the benefits, illuminating successful outcomes between the different parties involved, and gaining increased credibility for HE collaborative partnerships in the current environment in which Higher Education Institution’s (HEI’s) are now situated.
