Advice on Legal studies??

1992

Im a first year Art student.
Next year I hope to keep Legal Studies and Spanish but unfortunately I'm not certain if I will be able to....

The NUIG website states the following about Legal Studies :"Only students who pass First Arts as a whole, including Legal Studies, at the first attempt,
are eligible to be considered for the 100 Legal Studies places in second year".

You see one of my other subjects is French, and I absolutely hate it. I failed the first module of this subject and this means that I cannot pass French regardless of whether or not I pass the other two modules in French.

So what I want to know is, if I have failed French does this mean I will not be able to take Legal Studies in second year even if I get within the top 100 places in it??

Seems pretty clear to me, but maybe if you speak to somebody in the arts faculty to make sure? Will you be able to compensate up to a pass?

No because the module was tested by continuous assessment rather than an exam so I don't think there is any way I can repeat anything to pass it...

You do know what compensation is, right? Where if you get a fail, if you get over a certain amount of marks in other subjects the total can be brought up to a pass.

I barely passed that in first year and I still got offered a place in second year.

They will offer the places to perople firstly who passed all exams and did quite well in legal science.
Not all will take the place and then they will offer those to others.
I knwo of someone who failed a module and got offered a place late in teh summer in legal science. maybe ask to speak to someone in the law faculty or arts faculty about it, but you can still get offered it.

What if you fail a subject completely? Because with the way I'm going there isn't much hope of me passing French at all, not just the module....

you can redo assignments that you failed in regards to CA. Because there is no exam this is the only way you can achieve a pass. So my advise is, redo all the assignments, at least the ones you failed, and hand them in to either your lecturer or the French departments secretary before the end of this semester(1st April).
