Examples of module choices

Here are some examples of possible first year module choices for students on various degree programmes.

Arts

Example 1

You have been admitted to MA International Relations. You must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 80 credits (40 per semester) to be selected from other subjects.

Example 2

You have been admitted to MA Joint Honours International Relations & French. For the International Relations component of your degree, you must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. For the French component of your degree, you must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 40 credits (20 per semester) to be selected from other subjects.

Example 3

You have been admitted to MA Honours Sustainable Development. You must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and   (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 80 credits (40 per semester) to be selected from other subjects.

Divinity

Example 1

You have been admitted to BD Divinity with Biblical Languages. You must take modules , , , ,  and  (all 20 credits). This makes up a full course load and so there is no option to select modules from other subjects.

Example 2

You have been admitted to MA Joint Honours Theological Studies & Modern History. For the Theological Studies component of your degree, you must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. For the Modern History component of your degree, you must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 40 credits (20 per semester) to be selected from other subjects.

Science

Example 1

You have been admitted to BSc Psychology. You must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 80 credits (40 per semester) to be selected from other subjects.

Example 2

You have been admitted to BSc Biology. You must take module  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 80 credits (40 per semester) to be selected from other modules.

Example 3

You have been admitted to BSc Joint Honours Biology & Psychology. You need to fulfil the conditions of both Biology and Psychology as in examples 1 and 2 by selecting  and  in semester 1 and  and  in semester 2. This leaves 40 credits to be selected from other modules.

Example 4

You have been admitted to BSc Neuroscience. Even though this is a Single Honours programme, it has the same requirements as the Joint Honours Biology & Psychology programme above.

Example 5

You have been admitted to BSc Joint Honours Mathematics & Physics. You must take  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2, and  in either semester. Depending on your previous mathematics qualifications you may need to also take , in which case  must be taken in semester 2. This leaves between 40 to 60 credits to be selected from other modules.

Example 6

You have been admitted to MSci Computer Science. You must take  (20 credits) in semester 1 and  (20 credits) in semester 2. This leaves 80 credits to be selected from other modules. You could take the optional modules  and , plus 40 credits from other subjects, or take all 80 credits from other subjects to keep more degree options open.

This leaves between 60 and 75 credits to be selected from other taught modules:

  • Up to 30 credits overall can be taken from 4000-level undergraduate Computer Science modules, if you have the necessary background experience.
  • Up to 30 credits overall can be taken from modules with the prefix IS.
  • The remainder must be 5000-level Computer Science modules.

If, after semester 1, you decide that you would prefer to study a broader range of topics rather than continuing to specialise in Artificial Intelligence, you could switch to the more general Advanced Computer Science programme.

Over the summer you will take one of the dissertation modules or .
