Year 1 Module Registration

Liberal Arts modules

In Year 1, you'll study a combination of Liberal Arts core modules and optional core modules:

core modules are compulsory for all Liberal Arts students - you will be automatically enrolled on these modules
optional core modules give you a choice about which Liberal Arts modules to study in order to fulfil the programme requirements - you need to choose which modules to study

Year 1 Liberal Arts module overview

We'll talk about these modules in more detail during Welcome Week - you can also click on the links below to find out more.

Enrolling on eVision

To confirm your Liberal Arts module choices you need to complete module enrolment on eVision - this is one of the University's central systems.

eVision enrolment opens in Welcome Week. In Liberal Arts, we have a module registration breakfast to help you navigate the process.

The Liberal Arts core modules will automatically be added to your eVision record; in Welcome Week, you will need to choose which Liberal Arts optional core modules you want to study by selecting them on eVision. Once you've completed module enrolment, teaching sessions for your chosen optional core modules will be added to your timetable.

If you encounter any issues with completing module enrolment on eVision, please contact the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Office. You can stop by R3.38 or email liberalarts@warwick.ac.uk

Subject Area Modules

Within Liberal Arts, you can study a range of optional modules as part of a Disciplinary Route or a Specialist Pathway.

For a Disciplinary Route, you must study at least 30 CATS in the subject area in Year 1: most subjects have specific module requirements, which are detailed in the sections below.

We recommend starting on a Disciplinary Route in Year 1 if there is a particular subject that you are interested in. Starting a Route does not commit you to studying the subject in the future, but keeps the option open for you: you can always decide to move off the Route at a later point in your studies, should you wish to.

For a Specialist Pathway, you are free to choose optional modules from those available to external students across the University, including modules offered by our partner departments, listed in the Route modules section below.

Enrolling on subject area modules

There are two key steps you need to complete to enrol on subject area modules:

module registration: getting permission from the department running the module. This is usually done by emailing the department or completing an online form. Details of how to register for Route modules and other popular departments can be found further down this page.

module enrolment: selecting the module on eVision. This will be completed in Welcome Week, once eVision enrolment opens.

Please note that you must complete BOTH steps in order to enrol on subject area modules. Students who do not complete both steps are liable to be removed from modules at short notice.

If a department requests confirmation that you have permission from Liberal Arts to study their modules, please ask your personal tutor, who will be happy to provide this where appropriate.

Contacting Departments

For most subject area modules, you will need to email the deparment to register for your chosen modules. Details of how to register and who to contact for Route modules and some of the more popular departments across the University are available in the sections below.

Key information to include in your email:

a friendly greeting! (for example, Dear Classics Undergraduate Office or Hello)
your name and student ID
details of your degree programme - either that you're a Liberal Arts student, or that you're a Liberal Arts student on their specific Route
the name and code of the module(s) that you would like to study this year

For example:

Dear Classics Undergraduate Office,

My name is Flynn Rider (ID 100000). I'm a student on the Liberal Arts with Classics Route and would like to pre-register for CX101 Super Old History for this academic year.

If there is any further information I need to provide for module registration, please do let me know.

Best wishes,

Flynn

Timetables

Your personal timetable will be generated on Tabula once you have completed module enrolment on eVision in Welcome Week. It can take a day or two for the timetable to be generated, so please don't worry if all your modules aren't showing up instantly.

For some modules, you may need to self-enrol in seminars. Details of which modules require this will be available on departmental websites, available via the links above.

While you are waiting for your personal timetable to be generated, you can check the timetable for modules on the central timetabling website, following the guidance below.

How can I check module timetables?

Timetables for the next academic year are generally available at the start of September. Your personalised timetable will be available on Tabula once your module choices have been confirmed via eVision, usually in Welcome Week.

You can check the timetable for individual modules on the University's central Timetabling Office webpageLink opens in a new window. This can be useful to see if there are any clashes between modules.

You can find step-by-step guidance on how to access module timetables below.

1. Go to the Central Timetabling Office webpageLink opens in a new window and click on "Timetable Reports".

2. Log in using your University ID (e.g., u100000) and password.

3. Click on "Modules" on the left hand menu

4. From the drop-down box next to "Select Department", choose the department that's running the module you want to see the timetable for.

5. Scroll through the "Select module(s)" box and click on the chosen module

6. In "Select Week Range", you can choose whether to see the timetable for a specific week, term, or across the entire academic year ("All Weeks")

8. Click "View timetable"

Please note: this process will show the timetable for all teaching events on a module; modules may have multiple seminars each week, but in most cases you will be allocated to one seminar group for the duration of the module. Please check Tabula for your personalised timetable.

What happens if I have a timetable clash?

Given the range of different subjects and modules available to study in Liberal Arts, timetable clashes can unfortunately occur. The table below offers guidance on how to resolve timetable clashes; in all cases, your personal tutor will be very happy to talk through the options with you to find the best way forward for you.

Clash between...	Solution
Subject area lectures	If you have multiple lectures scheduled in the same timeslot, you will need to select alternative module(s) to study, as you cannot be allocated to an alternative lecture. If you are on a Disciplinary Route, we strongly recommend prioritising your Route modules over optional module choices.
Subject area seminars	If you have multiple seminars scheduled at the same time, you may be able to change to an alternative seminar group: you can check the module timetable (see guidance above) and contact the department's undergraduate office to see if this is possible. If you are not able to change seminar groups, you will need to select an alternative subject area module to study. If you are on a Disciplinary Route, we strongly recommend prioritising your Route modules over optional module choices.
