Additional Module Choice Information for Part II

Students must take 20 credits of approved Business School modules and a
further 20 credits of approved optional modules.

Additional Module Choice Information for all years

Module availability on non-compulsory modules is subject to timetabling

and pre-requisite restrictions.

Students must take 120 credits each year.

Optional modules with insufficient demand may be withdrawn from the list
of options at short notice, and students will need to select alternative
modules. Where this does occur, the University will try to give early
notification of any changes in order to minimise their impact.
