Can I do my second and third year in one year?

I have done my first year and am on a break currently. I want to know if it would be possible to do my second and third year in one year. I don’t want to email and ask my lecturers because it would be embarrassing if it’s not possible.

Wouldn’t be possible the amount of theory and practical you’d have to practice and prepare for whilst also having to take in you’ll have a breakdown or meltdown. It’d be too much to handle.

I am only doing maths. It’s a very small cohort, surely they can just fit me in somewhere?

Unless you're Einstein, I'd forget it. Too much to do for little time and you're unlikely to be able to cope with time constraints and time management.

I did get a 2:1 and do additional modules at the same time. Should I approach them about it so they can arrange it for next year. Both years have the same lecturers and rooms so there’s no overlap in terms of timetabling.

Nope even if it’s maths whether your degree is for a position in accounting I’d forget it.

I just want to get the degree and move on as soon as possible tho. It’s getting boring being at uni.

Intensive sessions and heavy packed timetable will lead to physical and mental burnt out leaving you to eventually drop the course.

I found the lessons easy so I don’t see the problem other than the uni agreeing. I am very stubborn, I believe I can do it but I don’t know if they would let me.

Just ask them then. You're clearly not here for advice but for a yes man to agree with you.

If you found the lessons easy why didnt you get a first? Can't have found it that easy. Uni will not allow it. They will tell you its too much.

I don’t they will go beyond the structure and planning of teaching for one student to merge two years into one if it was a group of 100s of students maybe but your dreaming :rolleyes:
If your willing and have the money to pay up the £27,000 within a year of completing your studies then go for it

That’s true. It’s a bit delusional I suppose. 😐

Harsh yet sad reality buddy wise of you to start a thread but take onboard the help and advice you got given now. Recoup and recover over the summer and wishing you the best for the next academic year.

2 years is a long time to be stuck on a course tho.

It’s the structure of a course it’s like saying learning the syllabus of how to drive I could be test ready within the space of 3-6 months or it could take me 9-12 months to be ready possibly two years we all have different stages of being able to learn and picking something up. Plus it’s intensive after all and you’d just be adding stress, fatigue and you’ll be knackered and burnt out to the point where you might have a breakdown now the way and the structure you follow now won’t leave you to regret since you ain’t going to give up or leave the course and you’ll eventually complete the course in your own pace and rate of time.
