Students may also apply to undertake a Professional Skills module at Level I. If successful, this will be taken in place of a semester 1 module. The credits to be dropped will be agreed with the programme convenor. The placement can be taken either during the summer vacation (part-time or full-time) or during semester 1 (part-time only). The placement must be completed prior to the Christmas vacation. Students undertaking a Professional Skills module at level I will not be able to undertake a Professional Skills module at level H.
