All undergraduate degree programmes are defined in terms of modules. Modules are grouped together to correspond to subjects which in turn are combined to make up degree programmes. Modules are measured in terms of credits. A module may correspond to 5, 10, 15 or 20 credits. Each year of a degree programme consists of modules to a total value of 60 credits.
Module descriptions are contained in the Book of Modules, 2016/2017.
The right is reserved not to offer any particular elective module listed in the Regulations. An elective module can be given only if teaching staff for that module is available and the module is selected by an adequate number of students, as determined by the Head of the Department/School concerned. The number of students selecting certain elective modules may be limited. Details are given under the relevant module descriptions. Students may not select modules which involve a timetable clash.
