What makes up an academic year?An academic year is divided into two semesters (Semester 1 and Semester 2 for each year of a programme). For specific dates see the academic year charts. Each academic year within a programme of study is made up of a number of units with credit values totalling 60 credits for a typical undergraduate programme or 90 credits for a typical full-time postgraduate masters programme. Some programmes may require you to take either more or less credits than this - your Director of Studies/Department/School will be able to provide you with more information if this is the case. Click here for some diagrammatic examples fo undergraduate programme structures and here for postgraduate programmes.
Structure of the programme cataloguesThe purpose of the programme catalogues is to help you to understand the structure of your degree programme and the range of units likely to be available to you. The programme catalogues are given in an abbreviated form, a view of the structure of each programme as it is expected to run for the given year and of the units which are expected to be available (please note that structures given in the 2005/6 catalogues apply to the 2005/6 academic year only) . Programmes in the catalogues are listed in programme code order. There will be a different code for a programme including a placement year or a study year abroad from that for a programme which does not. Make sure that you are looking at the correct programme of study. Click here for further information on programme codes. Each programme is divided into academic years and the units offered within each academic year are presented as follows:
Some academic years may be made up entirely of mandatory units. For programmes including blocks of optional units each block will have accompanying criteria indicating how many units you will be permitted to select. There may also be additional text indicating further restrictions on your unit selection.
