A major decision over the next day or so is to select your COMPLEMENTARY MODULE

The Complementary module is a 40 credit module you have to do in your first year

These modules are in different subjects

Included in these choices are OPEN modules

You may also need to select some OPTIONAL modules – we will talk more about these and the course structure at the Subject Meeting at 3 pm

Module choices – what you need to do

You can find full details of these modules on the website –
