    I'm afraid this one ain't to straight forward, deferring is usually a simple process itself a signature on a form from a head of department etc.

    The problem lies with the fact your friend failed.... repeating internally is not a automatic entitlement mostly because numbers are tight enough the past few years. I have seen students only allowed repeat externally because the class was already full!!

    The best piece of advice i can offer is your friend to speak to his head of department, if he has a truly valid reason for the deferral ie job offer etc. that will help, otherwise he could get a no and have to re-apply to his year of study.......

    How many exams did he fail? can he repeat anything in the Autumn??

    if you want any other info PM me;)
