Direct entry
Some degree programmes in the Faculties of Divinity and Science offer the possibility of direct entry to second year, for appropriately qualified applicants.
The obvious advantage of direct entry is that you can complete your degree in a shorter time. The main disadvantage is that your flexibility to switch to a different degree programme is greatly reduced, and often completely removed. You should also be aware that the academic risks are greater; in particular, you will be taking assessments that affect whether or not you will be admitted to Honours, during your first semester of study.
