MA module information 2023-24

Autumn deadline: 5pm Friday 6 October 2023 | Spring deadline: 5pm Friday 16 February 2024

Subject to availability, you can make changes to your modules in the first two weeks of each semester (the system is open for three weeks up to the deadline). Although we don't recommend changing 15 credit option modules running in weeks 1-5 after their first week.

You should contact the Postgraduate Student Experience Manager at history.maenquiries@sheffield.ac.uk to discuss your options and check availability. Your personal tutor and the Director of MA Programmes are also available to provide academic advice on your module choices. 

Once you have had a change approved, you should complete an add drop request via MUSE> My Services> Module Add/drop.

Once the request has been formally approved through the Add/drop system, your University Record will be updated. Your timetable will usually update the next working day but may take an extra day or two if the module has multiple seminar groups.  

Dropped modules will not be removed from your Blackboard list but you can hide a module by clicking on the menu dots at the right-hand side of the module container and selecting hide course. This won't stop you receiving any emails sent via Blackboard by the module tutor unfortunately but you can safely ignore them.

Student hours

The Postgraduate Student Experience Manager has bookable online appointments each week, or you can also email (history.maenquiries@sheffield.ac.uk) to check availability at another time.
