Module choice checklist
- The modules you select should total no more than 30 ECTS credits for each semester. Always check the requirement with your home university.
- Check if the modules you choose have prerequisites/corequisites, which is especially likely with science and engineering modules.
- Ensure you have at least eight to 10 modules pre-approved by your home university before you come to DCU as modules are subject to availability.
- Remember that modules can change up to the first week of each semester, so check the available choices again before you arrive as there may be new modules listed. Thereafter, you must ensure your classes are correct on Loop - this is your responsibility.
Changing your module choice
There will be a Change of Module period at the beginning of each semester. Further information will be provided.
