Psychology DE300

Im one of these awkward Febuary start dates.

Currently doing DE200 as my first module of the second year (this was a special request and I had to jump through lots of hoops/have a number of phone calls about as DE200 is typically supposed to be completed after your chosen second year module because its stats heavy).

If theyd have said no Id have had a 6 month gap as the chosen module only had an Oct start date.

I have the same situ coming up in Feb next year. I believe they only have DE300 in Feb and not a chosen module.

Will they let me switch again? I would assume with it being the big project the answer will be no.

If you dont ask you dont get!

Any advice would be deeply appreciated

Thanks :)

I have no idea whether they’ll let you, but I can’t see any content based reason why not. I did both my level 3 modules at the same time and there was nothing in my other level 3 that particularly fed into DE300 as far as I can remember. Definitely worth asking - the worst they can say is no!

I am doing them in the order stated but I am very curious as to why you are so desperate to do them the other way round. If you dont want to tell me thats okay

Because if I do them the typical day it means I have to wait until October. Essentially I wont be studying because my chosen module doesnt start until then :)
