    Far as I know you can't progress. Depending on the module/department, you may have to repeat the module internally (i.e. go to all the classes, do all the assignments) or possibly just repeat the exam next summer and not have to attend classes. But either way, I don't think you can progress to the next year.

    Someone will surely be along to give you correct info though, rather than my ill-informed speculation. Am just guessing, really.

    I repeated 5 modules in my first year of Science. 4 of them were maths and the other Biology. It's far from the end of the world, just use your free time and put in a few hours during the week.

    Did you fail them by muxh first time around Im resitting 6 and 4 of them I bombed first time around.

    Im a bit confused, say you fail one of your 3 subjects and you have to repeat but you fail the repeats in august, can you continue to second year with the other 2 subjects and just repeat the failed subject? or do you have to do first year all over again?

    Meaning, you repeat what you failed in first year and you can't move on into second year until you pass them.

    So i cannot move on to second year at all until I pass the failed subject? Even though I know for sure I will be dropping it in second year?

    Yeah, if you fail you repeat it again, you don't move on otherwise.

    And then what about the other 2 subjects that I did pass? What happens with them if I have to repeat the failed subject?

    They're passed so you can just start where you left off with them when you get into second year

    So worst case scenario, I fail this repeat and I have to repeat, I'd just be doing the two modules I failed for the entire year?

    Scratch that, read it wrong. As MCR said yeah you will, but AFAIK Lecturers can put different questions for external students.

    So would there be any possibility that i would be able to continue to second year with my other subjects and just register to do the failed module as an exam at the end of the year?

    No. As long as you have failed modules outstanding, you won't be allowed progress to the next year.

    Depends on the year, department and such. There's different rules for each. Best info is on the page they sent out with your results stating the requirements for each course. I'd tell you if I had it handy but I can't find it anywhere now.

    Last year I passed maths by compensation, I passed 3 out of the 4 exams. So yeah you can compensate AFAIK.
