1. The Maximum amount of modules you can register for in one academic year is 4.

 

2. You may only register for a post foundation module in a subject if you have successfully passed the foundation module e.g. to register for HIS3 or any post-foundation History module you must have successfully completed HIS1 (or have been granted an exemption from the HIS1 module).

 

3. You may select no more than two modules from the same subject in any academic year.

 

4. You cannot take two even or odd numbered modules in the same subject in the one year e.g. you cannot register for LIT3 and LIT5 in the same year.
