Repeating an MA course at UAL

Has anyone repeated a MA course at UAL?

Did UAL let you repeat the whole year or did you just start from where you left off?

At UAL, if you need to repeat part of an MA course, you usually only retake the specific unit(s) you didn’t pass, not the entire year from the beginning. You're required to pass all failed units before progressing, and retakes may be capped and come with additional fees. If multiple units are failed, you might have to pause your studies and resume once you've completed them. UAL doesn’t typically allow students to restart the whole course unless under exceptional circumstances, such as a formal Time Out from Study. It’s best to speak directly with your course team or student support for tailored guidance.
