This page provides you with the information you need to successfully select your modules, and ensure you have the correct credits to graduate from your Programme of Study.

The academic year runs over three trimesters. The following rules apply:

• Full Time students must have a total of 180 credits worth of modules across the academic year
• Full Time students must have a total of 60 credits in each Trimester.

• Part Time Students may not normally do more than 30 credits per trimester.
• Part Time Students aiming to complete in 2 years generally take a minimum of 90 credits worth of modules across the academic year.

• The number at the end of the module code indicates the credit weighting for that module. For example, AM7001-30 is worth 30 credits.

• A Compulsory Module is a module offered by your Subject that you MUST take.
• Optional Modules are offered by your Subject and you are free to pick any of the Optional Modules listed to make up your credit totals.
