UG Degree Structure - Our programmes have been designed so that they are made up of study and assessment blocks, which are called modules. Each module is worth 10 to 30 credits, with a major project being worth 40 credits. You will build these modules up, usually gaining at least 120 credits per year, until you complete at least 360 credits to achieve an Honours degree. More information and terminology about the Undergraduate degree structure is available on the website.

PG Degree Structure - Our programmes have been designed so that they are made up of study and assessment blocks, which are called modules.

Assessment blocks - An assessment block is an assessment, or group of assessment elements, including modular blocks and study blocks, which has a credit rating assigned. For a detailed description refer to the Senate Regulations.

Module/Study/Assessment block outlines - The study block outline repository contains all of the study/module blocks relating to your level.

Work placements - BSc Psychology with Professional Development is a four-year programme which includes a ‘sandwich’ mode of study involving work placements. Full work placement handbooks are available on Blackboard Learn for these study blocks.

Mode of study - This is the mode of attendance for your study. For example, if you are studying on a thick or thin sandwich or in attendance, full-time or part-time. You may request to change the mode of study; for example, you may wish to switch to a full-time mode from a thick-sandwich mode at the end of Level 2. Options vary from course to course, depending on the availability of different modes available – always check the programme specification for available modes of study.

Abeyance - Sometimes it can become necessary for a student to take time out from their studies to support personal circumstances. There is help at hand should you wish to discuss the need to take a temporary leave. Formal requests are made through eVision.
