    As long as your degree requirements are still being met, yeah you can change modules before semester 2. As long as there is room in the module you want to take up, of course.

    Not quite, read below the box:
    Students on a 3-year programme can take a maximum of 80 Level 0 and Level 1 credits combined (Level 0 credits cannot exceed 10)

    And:
    I am a Stage 2 (or Stage 3) student and want to take a Level 1 module as one of my electives. Is this permissible?
    Yes. There are technically no level restrictions for elective modules. However, you must take at least 100 credits of Level 2 or higher modules, 40 of which must be at Level 3, in order to graduate. Thus, if you are on a 3-year programme, the most Level 0 and Level 1 credits you may take are 80. You should also keep in mind that the level of all of your modules will appear on your transcript—a Level 1 module will stand out in Stage 3, where most of your modules will be at Level 2 and 3. While, it may be appropriate to take Level 1 electives in subject areas where you have no prior learning, you should not take Level 1 electives in one of you major or minor subject areas.

    Yeah I saw that! So just as long as you fulfill graduation requirements of minimum 100 at level 2 and 30 need to be level 3 it's ok. I just heard that you could only do 4 level 1's after 1st year.

    Ah I was confused by what you meant in your last post :)
