How to Choose Your Modules

The following information provides guidance on how to choose your modules. It is intended for undergraduate students entering modular degree programmes at Level One (first year of study). Foundation Year and Level Two students should consult their departments for guidance. Please read the following information before navigating the web pages.

There are regulations for studying each course at the University. These tell you how your course is constructed. They may consist of core (compulsory), approved and/or unrestricted modules.
