If you fail a repeat module, can you link it in and continue on to your second year?

    Can you carry the module over to your 2nd year if you fail the repeat and your QCA >2.0?

    AFAICT, no. You'll have to do the module separately and then progress to 2nd year next September.

    Do well in it too, you can't progress to the next year unless you have a QCA of 2.0 or above!

    It's a bit of a balls if you only fail one repeat that you can't continue and repeat it again.

    How much must you pay if you have to repeat one module for one semester?

    Varies per department, but in or around €500 AFAIK.

    A QCA above 2.0 and be really lucky that your new modules don't clash with the link in. I'm pretty sure they don't accomodate it for you though, it's shear luck that they don't!

    You don't do any new modules, you only study the failed module and have to pass it in order to progress to your next years studies.
    You can't progress until you have completed all the modules for any given year, if the module you fail is in semester two you have to wait until Jan having to sit out semester one but you still have to pay the fees to be registered for the year.

    But don't you only have to pay the fees for the module you failed? As in if you're repeating one module, your fees for the year would be the €500-ish for module, and not the €2250?

    But the 2000 would fall under reg fees.
    So would it not be reg fee + cost of module?

    you'll just pay the cost of repeating the module (link-in), not the registration fees

    Would your fee's just go back to normal then for the rest of your degree? Once you pass that one module and move on to the next year. Just your normal registration fee's?
