WMG Module Catalogue

How to use this module list

  • Where a module is Required or Priority for an MSc course, the course acronym is given in column 2 (if required, the acronym appears in bold).
  • Course modules which are 'required' or 'priority' for specific courses, can sometimes be selected as electives for students on other courses. This is however not guaranteed as module runnings are limited.
  • Academic restrictions or other pre-requisites may apply - these are outlined in column 3.

NB. Current students should refer to the WMG FTMSc Intranet for module information, including regulations and pre-requisites.

* There may be limited places available for students from other courses on these modules. Enquiries should be made directly with the full-time MSc Office at the time of elective selection, which is normally during the third week of October.

The module list above details modules available for the 2020/21 academic year, and should be regarded as an illustrative guide to modules available in future years.

Please also note that not all modules can be selected as electives.
