year.
Module selection guidance for part-time students
For part-time students, in their first year we recommend:

modules 1 and 2 to be completed in term 1, followed by modules 5 and 6 in term 2;

modules 3 and 4 to be completed in term 1 followed by modules 7 and 8 in term 2.
OR
This is because the content of these modules are linked.
The remaining modules would then be taken in the second year, along with the MSc project
module.
