Helpful hints

  • The first numerical digit in the code shows the Level it is taught at: 1 = First year, 2 = Second year; 3 = Third year.
  • The semester a course is taught in is identified by the last digit in the course code: 0 = Year Long course; 1 = First semester; 2 = Second semester.
  • You must ensure that the total credits you take over a year is 120 – this is most important and your responsibility. You should take no more than 60 credits per semester (maximum of 70 credits allowed, and only with Programme Director consent) as specified in the University’s Manual of Academic Procedures.
