Year Three Modules

You will take EIGHT MODULES in your second year of study – four in Semester One and four in Semester Two. Each module is worth 15 credits (or CATS points*).
The module that relates to the Empirical Project (SOCI3033) is “CORE”: you MUST take it. The remaining six modules are defined as either “core”, “compulsory” or “option”. You MUST take all of the “core” and “compulsory” modules.

External Module Choices
You do have the choice to take “External” modules in Year Three– that being, a module on offer in a different Department/Faculty in the University, as long as you meet the module’s pre-requisite(s), there is no clash in your timetable and there are spaces on the course. Your list of option modules can be accessed on the Student Record System Self Service (Banner), under the BSc Criminology and Psychology programme criteria. To view your options, you will need to select the 2017/18 Academic Year, your degree programme and your year of study.
There is an exciting range of “External” option modules to choose from throughout the University, providing you with the opportunity to deepen your current knowledge or broaden your knowledge in another discipline. Flexible Learning at the University of Southampton, and the University’s curriculum innovation project (CIP), allows you to customise your curriculum.
* Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) suggests that a 15 credit course equates to 150 study hours (including both contact time and self-study).
