Your module will appear on your module selection page and the semester it runs in will be described as AS, this stands for Across Semesters. You can look at the days and times the module runs in both semesters by looking at the module description text which comes up when you click on the module code. You select the module as you would any other and when it is timetabled it will be timetabled across the whole academic year to allow you to pick other modules for semester two around it – even if it runs at a different day and time in the second semester.
If you are a full time student you should select 8 modules for the academic year, 4 in each semester. If you are a part time student you should select a maximum of 6 modules over the academic year, between 1 and 3 in each semester.
Levels 4 & 5:
Single Honours students must take at least 6 modules in your single honours subject, and you can also choose two 'free' modules. (See also 'What are free modules?')
Major/Minor students (level 5), should choose at least 4 modules in your Major subject and at least 2 in your Minor subject and you can also choose two 'free' modules.
Joint Honours students (levels 4 & 5) must take at least 3 modules in each of your two subjects and you can also choose two 'free' modules.
Level 6:
Single Honours students must take the double independent study plus 6 other modules in your subject.
Major/Minor students must take the double independent study plus 4 other modules from your Major subject and 2 modules from your Minor subject.
Joint Honours students must take 4 modules in each subject including the double independent study.
You have a choice of how to select the Independent Study module depending on whether you wish to take it all in one semester or spread it over two.
If you wish to take it over one semester, you should choose the appropriate subject code ending in 3001 (eg HIST3001).
If you wish to take the Independent study over two semesters you should choose the appropriate subject code ending in 3002 (eg HIST3002).
Whichever option you choose you must ensure that you have submitted your Independent Study Proposal form to Registry Services by Week 10 of the semester before your final year - 19th April 2010 for those intending to take an Independent Study during 2010/11.
Returning students should make their module selections by 13th May 2011.
New students should make their selections as soon as they receive their welcome pack enclosing their temporary SOLE password and instructions on how to select modules.
All continuing students will be able to select their modules through their SOLE page from 11th April 2011 - an email will be sent to all UMS students when the Module Directory is available. Please go to the section entitled 'Course information' where you will find Module Information.
We recommend that you look at Module Availability 2011/12 and your Module Directory, and work out a plan of your timetable before you make your selection through your Module Selection form.
Census Week is your last opportunity to check and confirm your module registrations. This takes place once each semester during Week 2 of teaching.
Please note that module registrations cannot normally be changed after the end of the second week of teaching. Your registration can only be changed if you have been attending sessions in Week 3 and beyond, and with the tutor's permission.
If you are due to start your course in September 2011 please ring the Admissions Office on 01905 855111 or speak to Registry when you register for your course. If you are already studying on your course, please see a Programme Adviser in Woodbury.

NO. You can choose it from either semester, but you only need to choose it once.
YES, if it is required for the pathway you are on, i.e. if you are a joint honours student, the mandatory modules may be different from those required for single honours students. If you are unsure what your mandatory modules are, please check your Course Handbook on your SOLE page.
