LEARNING AND TEACHING: HOW IT ALL WORKS. Modules are blocks of teaching and learning around a particular theme. Although modules focus on specific topics, the knowledge and experiences you gain in one module will be applicable to all other modules you are studying.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MODULES: Core
Compulsory modules. You must study and pass these modules in order to complete your course.
Option
Related to your course. These modules provide you with a choice of topics that you may wish to study.
Pre-requisite
Modules that have to be passed in order to study another module – for example, a specific module at one level in order to choose an option module at another level.
Co-requisite
Modules that must be studied either at the same time (usually the same semester) or in the same academic year as another module and at the same level.
Prohibited
Modules that may not be studied in combination with other modules as denoted in the Course Guide.
Module learning outcomes show you what you will be able to do when you successfully pass a module. Each module will contain one or more assessment activities, designed to ensure that you have an opportunity to demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for that module. The assessment brief (see the section on ‘Assessment’) will indicate which learning outcomes are being addressed.
