Schols in 4th year

user1 · 2012-04-27 15:25:14

Can you take schols in 4th year? Im interested in doing it to get a postgraduate fees exemption. I emailed my tutor to see and she said no but I emailed the exams office and they said as long as Im a registered full time student.

See point 10. You can do it in all years.

You can. Also, tutors are often wrong about the fine points of College regulations, in my experience.

Yeah, but it takes a major amount of time, which you might not be able to afford in your fourth year. There's a huge huge risk that you will end up both not giving up enough time in order to get schols, and not having enough time left for a good final year project or similar.
