Module choices in Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering

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 天堂视频 credits).

You are advised not to exceed this recommendation.

Module options

The Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering modules (WS codes) available to you are listed below. 

Restrictions may apply based on your previous level of experience in any given subject area.  Please be sure to check that you meet any requirements for pre-requisite knowledge.  The Exchange Co-ordinator will discuss the suitability of your module choices with you in more detail, if required.

Modules chosen within a single discipline (Electrical/Manufacturing/Manufacturing) are less likely to result in timetable clashes.
