What are course handbooks? Each Academic Department is responsible for maintaining the definitive version of the Course Specifications (previously called Course Regulations) on their own website. By definition, the Course Specifications (Course Regulations) must provide the following information:

Core / Required Core / Optional modules by year of study and the credit weighting of each module
Required total credits to be taken by year of study (e.g., 120 credits in each of years 1, 2 and 3 respectively)
The relative credit weighting across the years of study for the final degree classification
Modules that are required for progression or Award
Guidance on optional module selection (e.g., how many to be selected and whether these are restricted to a defined list or department; list of modules for the current academic year; signposting to the module catalogue)
Required total credits to be taken by year of study (e.g., 120 credits in each of years 1, 2 and 3 respectively)
Credit weightings by years of study towards final degree classification
Progression Requirements for each year and links to the relevant regulations
Specific requirements for award of sub-qualifications or exit awards (e.g., Pass Degree at Bachelor’s level or PG Diploma or PG Award at Master’s level; UG exit awards as per course forms or institutional awards)
The relevant examination conventions for each course.

Statistics module information. Your course handbook contains the list of core and optional modules, including requirements on core and optional modules. The statistics module page provides the home pages for all modules run by the Department of Statistics (i.e. modules whose code begins with 'ST').
Module choice guidance. In partnership with students the department and SSLC have prepared a module choice guidance booklet covering module choice and degree routes based on individual interests. This page includes an archive of presentations from module fairs, returner's welcome and other events.

Module assessment deadlines. The statistics assessment handbook provides the deadlines for all assessments, assessment weights and information regarding assessment categories for each statistics module.

Module timetables. The department works with partner departments to ensure core modules do not clash. Due to the number of optional modules available and the thousands of combinations possible it is not possible to avoid clashes for all module option choices. A tool is available to check for module clashes.

Grade distributions. Module grade distribution data is available on the grade distribution page.

Actuarial exemptions. The actuarial exemption page provides detailed information regarding module mappings for actuarial exemptions.
