IMPORTANT
Once you have read the information below you need to record your decission in the progression card on Campus Connect. You need to do this as soon as possible and the final deadline to do so (and to ensure your registrations are available for the start of the 2025/26 academic year) is Wednesday 30 July 2025 (Undergraduates) and Thursday 7 August 2025 (Postgraduates and Foundation Year students)
What does it mean if I have to repeat modules?
You are given the opportunity to repeat modules you have failed by attending classes and retaking assessments in the next academic year (2025/26) You cannot progress to your next year of study or complete your degree until you have retaken and passed the necessary modules. Overall marks for repeat attempts will not be capped.
This will be your final attempt.
Fees
You will be charged a fee to repeat modules. Repeating students are charged on a pro rata basis according to the number of credits in the modules they are taking which is worked out as: (number of credits taken / full credit load) x applicable full-time fee
Example: A home student is repeating 3 modules of the BA Economics course in Year 3. Each of the modules is 30 credits so the student is taking 90 credits so the fee owed is:
90 (repeating credits) / 120 (full credit load) x £9,535 (full-time fee) = £7,151.25
You will need to arrange the payment of your repeat fees in order to complete enrolment and to allow you to repeat your modules.
More information about payment of fees is available in the Tuition Fee Operational Guide 2024/25.
