What happens if you fail a module in second year?
I think I'm going to fail a module or two out of 8. I found the two modules really difficult. I think I failed one of the courseworks for one module (I got about 37%) and the other module coursework I just managed to pass (41%). The coursework is worth 25% towards the final mark. I still have the exams to do but I'm finding it really difficult..I think I'm going to fail it. What will happen if I do fail? I'm in second year by the way and the modules are not core modules. -

Summer resit => pass => put it behind you and ace 3rd year which is worth the most anyway

Try your best to pass this semester, but if you don't that's what summer resits are for

Re: What happens if you fail a module in second year?resits - marks are normally capped at 40% unless you resit the entire year? Normally though single resits - you take them in the summer, and you only have to resit them if your marks are under the "compromise pass" (35-39%) whereby if you achieve this in a module that isn't a core one, you gain a pass for this module. Check your uni guidelines though, I'm sure it'll work out fine
plus like Democracy said, you can ace your third year!!

Re: What happens if you fail a module in second year?If you fail 1 out of the 8, its an optional resit the following year. And normally if you've passed the first year & you fail > 2 in second your allowed to resit in the summer although I can't 100% confirm this.(Original post by tmx17)
Anybody has an answer for the same question as the OP but for the Maths department ? Would be really helpful thanks....
From experience also if you've only failed 1 in 2nd year, there is no point resitting it as I am finding out right now: added work on top of 3rd year modules.
