From mid-July students who have accepted an unconditional offer on any of the programmes listed above will receive an email with a link to select their option courses. Before making your selections please read the guidance below.
How to choose your optional courses
Degree Programme Tables (DPTs) (linked below) set out the typical study path for your chosen degree, detailing core, compulsory and optional courses available. You should refer to the information provided in the DPT for your chosen programme to help inform your optional course choices.
Click on the course links within the DPTs to explore detailed information about the topics covered and how they are assessed.
Important points to note
- You are automatically enrolled onto the compulsory courses for your programme, you do not need to select these.
- Courses are worth 10 or 20 credits, the number of credits can be viewed in the DPT. The DPT shows how many optional courses you will need to take in Semester 1 and Semester 2 to make a total of 60 credits each semester.
- We will ask you to select more courses than you need, and will do our best and allocate courses as fairly as we can, however, where demand exceeds the spaces available, you might not get your top choices.
- Individual course timetables can be viewed by selecting the 'Timetable' link in the course descriptions available from the DPT.
- Please use the provisional draft MSc timetable available below to check which courses have timetable clashes. You will not be allocated to courses that have a timetable clash.
- You may contact the Course Organiser for more information about a particular course before making your selections.
- If you are allocated a course that you find is unsuitable, you may be able to change this up until the end of Week 2 in either semester, please contact your Student Adviser to do this.
