    How does the double credit system work in 4th year does anyone know?

    Starting on the 9th and my QCA is a bit rusty since 2nd year. Want to see if I can pull it up a good bit to improve my chance of getting a better degree.

    Can't find much on the Student Handbook!

    As far as I know, and it makes no sense to me - no good at maths! , but each module has a credit, usually 3, and this is multiplied by the factor, which is usually 1 or 2 when double weighted.
    So basically you get double the credits, based on your grade.

    UL website have some clearer info on it, google it , can't link from my phone!

    What subjects are you doing?

    Possibly! !

    Wonder if you'll escape the online courses they're doing at the minute? Think they're still doing lectures in UL as well, at least I know Angela still is.
