No. UK universities do not normally operate on semester. Undergraduate courses usually comprise three terms in each of three per year - nine in all. These average around 10 teaching weeks.

The modularity or otherwise of a course depends on the subject. In most cases, though, the second and third year modules will require some modules to be taken earlier.

When can you jump after appendectomy?

I don't know if you mean jump rope or jump out of an airplane, but I would wait 2-3 months. It take awhile for the internal to heal completely. I had mine between college semsters and when the semester started I couldn't open the heavy doors to the buildings, so wait a bit to jump.

Is it possible for my to get my bachelor's degree in a year?

Note: All of this applies to the US educational system; other countries may have some pretty bizarre ideas as to what constitutes a bachelor's degree. If it's a system where you take a bunch of courses (usually over the course of several years) to prepare for a big exam and success on the exam is the only thing that determines the awarding of the degree, that changes things somewhat, because you can also study for the exam on your own without spending the time to take the courses.If you've completed three years worth of the work required for it already, then yes.Otherwise, no. At least, not a legitimate one; you could get one from a diploma mill, where the main criterion for "graduating" is "did your check clear."It's possible to get a bachelor's degree from an accredited university in three years, but it's hard work. It might just barely be possible to get one in two years, but it would be very hard work.A bachelor's degree normally requires on the order of 120 credit hours.12 credit hours per semester is usually considered "full time" student status. Taking more than 18 credit hours per semester typically requires special permission from college officials (if you're only a credit over and you have been getting good grades, this is largely a formality; if you're trying to take 22 hours and your GPA is below 3, forget it). It should be immediately apparent that there's no possible way to obtain 120 credits in a single year; even taking a heavy overload and going to summer semester you might manage to get 50-60 tops.If you take 21 hours per semester (this is usually pretty much the maximum that will be allowed even with permission except in very special cases), then two years of spring and fall semsters will give you 84 credits. You'll need to pick up 36 (or more) additional ones to graduate; summer semesters are typically limited to 8 credits or so, so even adding in two summers will put you at least 20 hours (a full semester, and an overloaded one at that) short.Your only real hope for graduating in two years is to start with some credits under your belt already (perhaps from high school AP courses, perhaps from something like CLEP tests) and possibly additionally picking up some "bonus" credits (Honors English at my alma mater granted the three credits for the course itself, plus an additional three credits for the introductory English class that was normally required if you passed with at least a B, under the theory "if you can pass Honors English with a B, introductory English would have been a cakewalk for you").
