Student Handbook 2023/24

Part-time students usually select 90 credits of taught modules in their first year - any dissertation element for your specific programme will normally be taken in your second year, along with the remaining taught credits due. This can vary depending on your programme of registration.

You will only be requested to choose your modules per academic year, as they are based on the current year’s teaching timetable and module availability.

Students wishing to do their dissertation in year one OR to do an additional dissertation IN PLACE of taught credits will need to discuss this with the administration team as you are unable to select this automatically on MYSIS. This may be possible in some circumstances.

In all cases, part-time students who fail any element of their year one examinations will take their re-sit(s) in line with all other students.  They cannot be deferred until year 2 unless there are extenuating circumstances.

The guidance and deadlines in this Handbook apply to all other areas of part time study. Please note though, that should any of the guidelines or procedures for LLM students change substantially, such changes may be incorporated into your second year of study. You will of course receive notification of any such changes.

You will be sent online enrolment instructions from the Queen Mary Registry prior to your second year of study. Your current student ID card will then be reactivated.
