Module choices in Materials

Please follow the guidance on this page. If you apply to study modules that are not permitted by your School/Department, your learning agreement may be returned to you. If you have any questions, please contact the Exchange Co-ordinator. Detailed information about each module is shown in the Module Specification pages.

Number of credits

The recommended number of credits per semester is 30 ECTS credits (60 ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ credits).

You are advised not to exceed this recommendation.

Module options

The Materials modules (MP codes) available to you are listed below.

Restrictions may apply based on your previous level of experience in any given subject area and if you wish to select Part D or postgraduate modules, you will need to demonstrate that you have studied at an appropriate level before coming to ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ.  The Exchange Co-ordinator will discuss the suitability of your module choices with you in more detail if required.
