    Hi,

    I've applied to go to DCU starting September. I have to do so many modules until I reach 60 credits. are the credits awarded to how well I do in the assignments? Like will I get the full credit award, if I get a distinction in the assignment, or is it that get the credit if I complete the module? Thanks in advance of any feedback and advice.

    Your mark only affects your grade. Once you pass the module you get all the credits for it. So if you do a 5 credit module and get 40% or 100% overall, you get 5 credits.

    As Bren said, full credits for passing the module. Over the year, I did 8 5 credit modules (4 per semester) and 2 10 credit modules (year long). If I pass them, I'll have my 60 credits.
