Year One Modules

In Year One, you take EIGHT MODULES – four in Semester One and four in Semester Two. Each module is worth 15 credits (or CATS points*).

ALL of your Year One modules are defined as either “CORE” or “COMPULSORY”. This means that you MUST take all of these modules and you DO NOT have the option to change the modules.

It is important to note that the marks you achieve in Year One DO NOT contribute towards your final degree mark. However, you MUST pass (that being, get at least 40%) in each individual CORE MODULE to progress to Year Two. In contrast, you need only get a qualifying mark (that being, at least 25%) in any individual COMPULSORY MODULE to progress to Year Two. Detailed information about progression criteria can be found here.
