Optional module information
Please click here to download your optional module list:
Please note: to add optional modules from the Level below your year, you will need to wait until September.
On the list above, you will see that some modules have rules that connect to other modules:
- Pre-requisites - If a module has a pre-requisite, it means that module needs to be taken before the one you are interested in.
- Co-requisites - If a module has a co-requisite, then it has to be taken at the same time as the one you are interested in.
- Non-requisites - If a module has a non-requisite, then you cannot take both modules as they have similar content.
Some module choices can lead to a proficiency or a minor being added to your degree, for more information, please see this website.
To view more information on any of the modules, please see the StudyGuide
