Like I said there are no hard and fast "rules", some universities will be open to it and others harder to convince. There also might be differences between various faculties within one uni, and also you'll face less resistance for under-subscribed courses and more if it's one that has packed full lectures already. And like I said - you might need to flex your negotiating muscles to show them you're serious and committed .
Either way, I'd also have a transcript of your completed classes and course description documents for those classes available to send, as they'll need those when considering any transfer of course credit.

Thanks so much for your feedback, sir! Yeah this is what i'm coming across having contacted a few schools now. It all seems quite department based and pretty arbitrary which is both worrying and positive in terms of admissions. I really want to go to Cardiff though because i'd feel most at home there, so that's what i'm pushing for at the moment, and the psychology office admissions there seemed pretty open to negotiations which was a pleasant surprise!
