Yes, you can retake exams in Ireland if you fail a module.

Here’s how it generally works:
- Re-sit/Repeat Option: Most Irish universities and colleges allow students to re-sit (retake) exams or repeat failed modules. The specific arrangements depend on the institution and the program.
- Timing: Re-sit exams are usually offered during the summer (after the main exam session), but some courses may have other arrangements.
- Fees: There is often a fee for re-sitting an exam or repeating a module. The amount varies by university.
- Maximum Attempts: Generally, you can attempt to pass a failed module more than once, but there may be a limit (usually 2-3 attempts). If you fail multiple times, you might be required to repeat the whole year or, in rare cases, withdraw from the program.
- Impact on Degree: Passing the re-sit allows you to progress, but some universities may cap the grade you can achieve in a repeat attempt (for example, a ‘Pass’ instead of a higher grade).

Advice:
- Always check the specific rules of your university and course, as policies can differ.
- If you need help with academic support or exam preparation, most Irish universities offer resources for struggling students.
