Would this be possible? I’ve failed an optional Year 3 module for late submission, would I realistically be able to enrol in September with a place on a new optional module? Is this something that unis offer?

You would have to ask your course director this question to get a sensible answer as the rule set will vary from place to place. I would imagine the answer will be "no" for a late submission without well documented mitigating circumstances, the best you could aim for would be a capped resit of the same course. Too much wiggle room for students trying to game the system otherwise.
All fair responses offered above. I do have mitigating circumstances but I’m wondering if it would be worth pursuing an appeal vs asking to swap out modules. Thanks guys
If there are accepted mit circs then the question is somewhat moot in terms of unit failure (because the failure can be superseded with a reexamination), but the same response would still apply - they'd expect you to pass the failed unit, usually as a first sit. Switching would not usually be allowed because, mit circs or not, there is still a unit failure to deal with.
