Year Two 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 modules are defined as either “core”, “compulsory” or “optional”. You MUST take all of the “core” and “compulsory” modules. You can take one “optional” module in Semester TWO. This is outlined below.

 

Please click on the ‘Module Names’ listed below for an outline of the module(s) and assessment procedures. Specific details are provided by individual Module Coordinators in Module Handbooks or handouts when you begin your module.
