Project contribution to Year 4 from Year 3: 200 marks

Year 2 students may carry one module into Year 3 (the year abroad), provided the module does not include the language of their year abroad. This module must be passed before the student progresses to Year 4.

Exceptionally, a student may be allowed to carry more than one module.

Again, the carried module must be passed before the student enters Year 4.
