Course Content
Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and by feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.
All modules are mandatory. This enables you to acquire the core knowledge and skills that you need for the rest of your degree, maximise the potential for professional body accreditation and identify specialist topics which interest you and may wish to select in Year-3.
