Loading/Requirements

The minimum and normal load is 120 CATS.

The maximum load is 150 CATS.

Students must take all of the four Core Modules (totalling to 60 CATS).

Then, for another 30 CATS, students must either

• take EC226 Econometrics 1

or

• take both of EC220 Mathematical Economics 1a and EC221 Mathematical Economics 1b.

Then students must take a minimum of 30 CATS from Year 2 Option List A.

Students may choose to take additional Optional Modules/Unusual Options modules to increase their load above 120 CATS. Note that choice of Unusual Options is subject to some restrictions.

For information about what is required to proceed to year 3, see Requirements for Progression further down this page.

Core Modules and Optional Core Modules

The teaching term shown is for information only and does not form part of the official course regulations. Variations observed on the module pages and / or university timetable should be considered to be a more definitive source of information.

Note that there are no Required Core modules for GL11 students in year 2.

Optional Modules

Your selection of optional modules is extremely important. You must ensure

• you meet the regulations for your degree programme

• you take modules which may be prerequisites for other modules you wish to take later on in your degree programme

• you take modules which are required if you are considering transferring to another degree programme

• you follow any special procedures for registering for certain modules, including for Unusual Options.

You should check the Module from Other Departments page for information about any special procedures that must be followed to register for a module and for further advice.

As stated above Year 2 GL11 students must take a least 30 CATS of modules from Year 2 Option List A.

Any modules not listed as Core, Optional Core, Year 2 Option List A or Year 2 Option List B are classed as Unusual Options and permission to take these modules must be obtained with a completed Unusual Option form submitted to the support office by the specified deadline.

It is not permitted to take more than 30 CATS of Unusual Options from any given department in any given year.

Unusual Options count towards your load but they do not count, under any circumstances, towards CATS requirements described in the course regulations where these regulations refer to Core Modules, Optional Core Modules, or letter Lists (e.g. List A, List B etc).

Further information about Unusual Options, including restrictions and deadlines can be found in the Unusual Options section of the handbook.

Common Unusual Options

Note that there is information about Language Centre Modules, Engineering Department Modules, Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) Modules and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) Modules on the Modules from Other Departments page.

Exams and Assessment

Term 1 modules are all examined in the April exam period directly after the Easter Vacation and the others in the Summer exam period. In general 10 CAT modules have two hour exams.

Outcomes and Progression

Second Year Learning Outcomes

After completing the second year students will have RL

• covered the foundational core;
• had the opportunity to follow options which build on their core knowledge;
• acquired sufficient knowledge and understanding to be in a position to make an informed choice of options in their final years.

Requirements for Progression

In order to progress to the third year of the GL11 degree programme (when students transfer to the Economics department and are subject to Economics department regulations), you must:

1. Have taken modules in accordance with the description under the heading Loading/Requirements at the top of this page.

2. Have an overall year mark of 40 percent or above

3. Pass at least 90 CATS of whole modules.

If you do not meet the above requirements then the Exam Board will require you to take further attempts in certain modules in September. More information about further attempts can be found in the section on examinations and assessment.

Second year examination boards - possible outcomes.

Year 2 GL11 students are considered by the Economics Department second year examination boards according to the Requirement for Progression listed above.

Transferring to Economics

For regulations for GL11 once transfer to the Economics Department has taken place please consult the Economics Department's Course HandbookLink opens in a new window.

If you are registered for a joint degree you must still complete the course transfer process when the time comes to change to the other department (between the end of year 2 and the start of year 3 in the case of GL11 and G1NC).
