    I was expecting you to make the same comment about philosophy:tongue:

    OP, just self teach that module? Or see if either school runs it at a different time?

    Talk to your exams officers. If you are doing this because that's how your college offers the courses then they should take care of it. If you are doing it 'privately' then you could be stuffed as it's not their problem or made to pay for the supervision you'll require between the colleges.

    My clash is a big bitch:

    C4 maths and GGA5 geog on the same day

    + the June sittings for 2 exams I took in Jan are that day: GGA4 geog and 2887 economics (the hardest one lol)..so if I had to resit them both eeeeekkk!! it would be 4 1.5 hour exams = 6 hours on one day which is the limit I believe? Lets hope I don't have to resit (at least not both lol!).

    What do you mean self teach that module.
    He's saying the actual exam clashes with another, how does self teaching affect anything?

    Yeah, clearly I'm being a bit thick.
    I was just on before lectures, and in a little bit of a hurry, so misread the OP as saying the classes were at the same time in different places.
    Oops.
