What are the chances of being allowed to skip into 2nd year Journalism?

I'm from Ireland and I did a media course in London last year but left Uni after first year as I didn't like the course. I have applied for advanced entry to Journalism at DCU (as UK fees go up too high this year) and received my place for September.

Im taking a year out atm, however, last Oct-Dec I completed a short course in Fashion Journalism at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London and am also taking up a short course/internship with a local paper here in London in April. I was just wondering, with all this media and journalism experience, what the chances are of DCU letting me skip in to second year of the course come September?

I wouldn't have a clue how that would work, but, nonetheless, your best bet to finding out a direct answer would be the head honcho of the course. According to the website, that would be Prof Steven Knowlton. (steven.knowlton@dcu.ie)
Best of luck!

Heres the list of subjects on the course, I think what matters most is if you've covered the same content as everyone else, rather than other journalism experience you have.
