5. Programmes and modules of study

5.8. Modules from other Schools

In your final year you will have the option to take up to 30 credits from another School at Queen Mary.

This allows you to pursue your individual academic interests while studying for a relatively focused degree. However, keep in mind that:

  • Some Schools limit the number of external students on popular modules, or do not allow students from other Schools on their modules. 
  • You cannot take modules from the School of Business and Management.
  • Many modules have prerequisites.
  • Timetabling can be a constraint, as you are not normally permitted to register for overlapping modules.
  • You should have good academic reasons for the modules you select, and you must discuss them with your Advisor prior to module selection.

A full list of modules offered across Queen Mary is in the Module Directory at www.qmul.ac.uk/modules

If you wish to take a module outside the School of Economics and Finance:

  • Discuss this with your Advisor
  • Email or visit the School offering the module to obtain written permission
  • Forward/show the written permission from both the other School AND your Academic Advisor to AskQM

If you select a module from a different School and you have not got written approval for this, your module choices will be rejected and you will be removed from the module.
