Information about Choosing Your Modules for English and Drama: Final Year Programmes: Module Requirements

You must take modules worth a total of 120 academic credits in your final year (of which at least 90 credits must be at level 6).
Choose your modules to ensure a balanced credit load across the year (60 credits in each semester).
You will not usually be permitted to take more than three modules within the School of English and Drama in either semester.
Joint degree students normally select modules worth 60 credits in each subject, but are permitted to take an unequal split of 45/75 credits across subjects. The Module Preferences Form allows you to specify if you wish to do this, and to clarify which 15 credit module you want to add to or drop from your ideal choices.
With the approval of your adviser you may select modules up to the value of 30 credits (excluding Level 4) from a programme offered by another School in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences or (with the additional approval of your Head of Department) from another institution of the University of London.
