Queestion on year 2 entry

Hi there, hope everyone is doing well.

So, I have an issue regarding year entry. I'm currently studying an HNC in Computing and want to go to another university to do another course, specifically Ethical Hacking at Abertay. They accept an HNC as an equivalent of the first year of study, so I applied. However, they require the completion of a module, H17X Software Development: Programme Foundations, to be exact, which my college doesn't teach currently. I have done Advanced Higher Computing before, and in combination with the work I've done in my own time, I have all the evidence that I have the knowledge and course work of what that course teaches. So my question is, is it worth accepting a first-year entry to this course and then requesting a review, or is there anything I can do before I accept?

If they're inisting, then unfortunately you would have needed to have taken it. If you try to apply, it's likely they'll reject you. Sorry it couldn't have been more positive.
