Modules
All undergraduate Business programmes are defined in terms of modules. 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, 2017/2018.
Elective Modules
Students may be asked to indicate preferences for elective modules for their Second, Third and Fourth Years prior to the end of their First, Second and Third Years, respectively.
The right is reserved not to offer any particular elective module listed in these 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 Department concerned. The number of students selecting certain elective modules may be limited by a quota. Details of these quotas are given under the relevant module description. Students may not select modules which involve a timetable clash.
Change of Module
Students wishing to register a change of module must do so via the Student Portal or at the Student Records and Examinations Office no later than two weeks after the start of each Semester, i.e. by Friday, 22nd September 2017 (Semester 1) or Friday, 26th January 2018 (Semester 2). Semester 1 modules cannot be changed in Semester 2. No changes in registration will be allowed after these deadlines.
Selection of Modules
The selection of any module by a student is conditional on the
Professor or Lecturer concerned and the School being satisfied that he/she is
capable of profiting by attendance thereat.
Conditions governing selection of specific subjects/modules may be found under the regulations for individual degree programme.
