Can I take less than 120 credits worth of modules in an academic year?

If you are an undergraduate student, you are required to study 120 credits worth of modules in an academic year as a full-time student.

If you are a postgraduate student, you are required to study 180 credits worth of modules.

The only circumstance when this would not apply would be if you are repeating a year and have already passed a number of modules during the previous year.
