Repeat a year

I’m studying music technology and unfortunately, I failed my second year. This was due to my mental health issues, which I had discussed with my university GP. I had 10 credits missing from my first year’s course, which may prevent me from repeating a year. They informed me that I would need a certificate of higher education (which I have achieved), as this could enable me to become a direct entrant into the second stage of my course. I’m deeply distressed about this situation because I managed to secure a loan to cover my tuition fees for the last two years.

Hi Jay,

Sorry, are you looking to find out how to apply for an extra year of funding or what is your question? Thanks, Jason

i am looking for a direct entry in the second year of a course i hold a certificate of higher education 110 credits for Coventry uni I’m looking for advice on how to apply for a September intake failing that a January intake. I know the standard is 120 credits to go into the second year but i also hold a certificate of higher education from another uni i left to join Coventry. Would it possible to start in the January if I can’t start in September ?

Are you asking from a funding POV, or just how to apply in general? (You've asked this under the Ask SFE section, which is why I am checking.)

HI there,

Can you also confirm what university you would be attending and how many years of previous study you have? Can you also confirm it would be a direct entry for 2nd year of the new course.

Thanks, Drew
