    I apologise if this has already been asked, but I didn't come across it when I looked through threads already posted.

    Basically I'm wondering if it is possible to repeat either third or fourth year in TSM. Does anyone know for certain?

    I don't see any reason why not. I don't know of any course that doesn't allow repeats, the only problem I could see is if they didn't have any room. Call (don't email, they just ignore you) your head of Department or Hugh the Ed. Officer to be sure.

    Yep, but you need a good reason - medical/personal issues etc. AFAIK because it counts towards the degree and they're fussy about that, you can't repeat automatically.

    Thanks. Was just wondering, as it came up when talking to some people in my course lately and no one seemed to know.

    Final year computer science doesn't, but that says nothing about any other course.

    If you fail 4th year you need to repeat both 3rd & 4th year. Also, as said before, there needs to be mitigating circumstances. Repeating because you simply failed isn't sufficient.

    TSM revamped their website recently. Here's the info you requested:

    http://www.tcd.ie/TSM/current/exams/js.php
    http://www.tcd.ie/TSM/current/exams/ss.php

    Those are the guidelines for 3rd and 4th year exam results, though you do need a trinity username and password to read them. Hope that helps!
