Please check this page regularly throughout the academic year for the latest information and guidance for Undergraduate, Diploma and Visiting students.
Module Registration
Can I register for fewer or more CATS than is specified?
No, you are only permitted to take the number of CATS specified in your degree regulations.
It is your responsibility to check the student handbook to ensure you are meeting all your degree course regulations:
What is the difference between Mathematics A and B and Statistics A and B?
As an L100 or L116 student you must take the B version of both Mathematics and Statistics e.g. EC140 and EC124
As an LM1D student you may choose between the A and B versions. The A version is an easier version as it is does not assume mathematics A Level (or equivalent). Please make use of the Maths and Stats drop in sessions that we run in Weeks 1 and 2 and get some advice about which maths module would be best suited to your abilities.
You could also view a lecture for both the A and B versions and look at the pre-recorded content for them, as that will give you a good idea about the content covered in each and hence which module is going to be the right one for you.
How many and which optional modules am I permitted to take?
It is your responsibility to check the degree course regulations for your course. You can find these within your student handbook:
This outlines how many optional modules you are permitted to take each year depending on your programme as well as how many optional modules should be from within the Department of Economics.
You should also check whether an optional module has any restrictions or pre-requisites. For Economics modules, you can check this hereLink opens in a new window. For modules outside of the Department, you should check with the department where the module is based.
You should also think about which modules you may wish to take in subsequent years to ensure you are meeting the pre/co-requisites for these modules too.
How do I find information and sign up for modules with external departments (e.g. WBS)?
You can view the University’s Module Catalogue where it lists all modules across the University and this include WBS.
You will need to get in touch with the department where the module is based. They will tell you what you need to do to register for this module.
Warwick Business School (WBS): Please note WBS use their own platform to deliver their teaching and learning. Please go to my.wbs.ac.uk/registration and log in using your IT Services usercode and password for more information. You can then visit this my.wbs page which details which modules are available to you, and how you can apply.
Once you have registered with the department and it has been approved, you should also register on e-Vision to complete the module registration process.
In addition, you must remember to register on EMR with your other Economics modules, selecting the correct assessment methods.
Are there a limited number of places for each module?
Yes, there are limited places on some of our modules. How many students we permit on each module depends on room and teaching capacity.
Students who have registered for modules during pre-registration will be given priority to their chosen modules should a module go over its capacity.
Please check with external departments directly regarding non EC-coded modules.
Can I access lectures and Moodle pages of prior to submitting my module choices?
During the module registration period you will have guest access to the module pages on Moodle. Please type the module code into the Moodle search engine and you can browse. You can attend lectures as a guest during the first few weeks of term to help with your decision making. Click here to see the lecture timetableLink opens in a new window.
Do I need to register for Term 2 modules in Term 1?
Yes, you will register all of your optional modules by the end of Week 3, Term 1. Should you wish to make any changes you may do so at the beginning of Term 2.
I'm an EPAIS student, are optional modules from PAIS considered external?
Yes. As an EPAIS student, your degree is based within the Department of Economics and so PAIS modules are still considered external options.
How do we determine whether to take 1a or 1b for Topics in Applied Economics?
The main difference between the two modules is who is teaching and hence the topics that will be taught. We advise you select the module that interests you the most.
To help decide which module to take, you can view the module content on Moodle, which will provide you with a good idea as to what topics will be covered.
You can also search for the lecturers on each of these modules through our People pages, where you will be able to see their research interests etc. This will also provide you with an idea about what each lecturer is likely to teach on.
What if two of my modules clash on my timetable?
For lectures, we have made sure that there are no clashes with core modules. If this is not the case please get in touch with the Economics UG Office.
While we have tried to prevent clashes with core modules, we cannot guarantee that there will be no clashes with optional modules and other departments.
For small groups, you are welcome to select an alternative timeslot for your class. There are various slots for you to choose form, so you can choose a time that does not clash with your other classes. Once your modules have been finalised and seminars have begun, you must email the Economics UG Office to request a change to your seminar. However, this change is not guaranteed.
Ultimately, we would advise you to amend your module choices if you cannot avoid clashes with your lectures. Missing lectures and monitoring points is detrimental to your studies.
I have recently changed modules, why are my new choices not visible on my Moodle dashboard?
Moodle updates automatically once you have selected your modules, however it can take time for them to appear on your dashboard.
You can still access the relevant Moodle page by manually typing the module code into the Moodle search engine, then selecting the current academic year.
Can I change my module choices if I have already submitted them?
Yes, you have until module registration closes (usually the end of Week 3) to make any amendments to your choices. You will also be able to amend any Term 2 modules at the start of Term 2.
Once you have submitted your choices you will not be able to amend your selection yourself on eVision and will need to visit the UG Office in-person. You will find the UG Office's opening hours here: Get In Touch.
Can I take EC100 coded modules?
If you are a second or final year student you are not allowed to take modules that are coded EC100.
It is your responsibility to check the degree course regulations for your course. You can find these within your student handbook:
How do I know if I can take an external module?
If you wish to take an external module, please ensure it is on our list of approved optional modules: Year 1,
Year 2, Year 3 . If the module does not appear on the approved list then you will need to complete an
unusual options form and wait for approval from the Modules Co-ordinator. Please check the approved list carefully as you will be removed from a module if you have not received permission to take an unusual option.
If the module appears on the approved list then please register as normal on e:Vision.
Please also ensure you have checked with the external department’s guidance on taking their modules, as each department has their own registration procedures.
You can drop a Term 1 module if you have submitted assessed work that less than 10% of the total mark. In this scenario you can choose to replace your module at the start of Term 2.
Please ensure you spread your modules out across the academic year. It is your responsibility to ensure your modules are evenly balanced across both terms. If you choose to take an imbalance of modules in Term 2, you cannot use workload/stress for mitigation.
If you have submitted 10% or more of the assessed work then you will not be permitted to drop the Term 1 module in question.
Where can I view module pre-requisites and restrictions?
Module pre-requisites and restrictions can be found here. You can also find a list of module pre-requisites and restrictions in the Undergraduate Handbook.
More information as to whether you are eligible to take a language module can be found here. You will also need to contact the Language Centre to discuss their registration process. Enrolment details can be found on the Language Centre Academic Enrolment webpage.
I am a student from outside the Department, can I take an Economics module?
If you are an external student and would like to take an Economics module please complete an economics module as an outside option form once module registration reopens. Your request will then be reviewed by a member of the academic team. Please ensure you have the relevant pre-requisitesLink opens in a new window before applying to take the module as these are strictly adhered to. Please be aware that due to high demand we cannot guarantee a place on your chosen module, this will depend on capacity at the start of the academic year.
Students studying for an Economics Joint Degree (EconGSD, SMLCEcon, PPE, MORSE, MMORSE) are NOT required to complete this application form although you MUST ensure you have the relevant pre-requisites for any EC coded module you register for.
Can I take EP304: Introduction to Secondary Maths?
Economics students cannot apply for EP304 (Introduction to Secondary Maths), even as an unusual option.
Warwick Economics courses are sufficiently math intensive, giving the necessary preparation to teach Maths should that be the choice of our graduates.
Can I use a module leader's approval to take a module if I do not meet the required pre-requisites?
You must fulfil the requisite requirements to take our modules. Seeking approval from a module leader will not improve your chances of taking the module.
You can view the pre-requisites and restrictions for our modules here: pre-requisites.
I have selected my modules, why have they not appeared on my Tabula timetable yet?
There may be a slight delay in Tabula presenting your timetable. In the meantime, please use the timetables on our webpages to see where lectures are taking place: Undergraduate timetables (warwick.ac.uk).
For small groups, seminars will open on week 3 of term, where you will be able to select your class times. Once selected, your Tabula timetable will be automatically populated.
When do we need to confirm our module choices?
You have until the end of Week 3 of Term 1 to confirm your module choices.
You are welcome to change any term 2 modules at the beginning of Term 2 (during the January module registration period). After the January module registration period has ended you will be unable to drop a Term 2 module.
Teaching and Learning
When and where can I view my timetable?
We advise you view your timetable on Tabula, as this will contain the most up to date information on any class changes.
You can also view the Economics Undergraduate Lecture Timetable here if you are currently missing lectures from your Tabula timetable.
Lectures for your core and optional-core modules will appear on your Tabula timetable first, ahead of any other modules.
Your lectures for your optional modules will appear on your timetable once you have registered for your module choices in Term 1/Term 2. Please note it will take a couple of days for your timetable to be updated with your module choices.
Small classes will appear on your Tabula timetable once you have selected a timeslot.
My timetable is not in Tabula yet. How can I check for any clashes?
You can view the Economics Undergraduate Lecture Timetable here until your Tabula timetable has updated.
Some additional content may be taught in Term 3 for year-long modules. Typically, the first few weeks of Term 3 are used for revision sessions. You will be made aware of your revision timetable prior to the start of Term 3.
From Week 4 the examination period beings, so most of your time in Term 3 will be dedicated to revising for and sitting your examinations.
Can we attend lectures for other modules to help us when choosing our optional modules?
During the module registration period, students can drop in to lectures as a guest to help them with their module selection. The Economics Undergraduate Lecture Timetable can be found here.
When will we be able to choose our seminars?
You will be able to select your class in Tabula from Week 2 and the classes will start in Week 3.
Where do we access Warwick Business School (WBS) modules?
WBS use their own platform at my.wbs.ac.uk. Please log into this using your IT Services usercode and password. If you are experiencing any difficulties, please contact the WBS Undergraduate Office at undergraduate@wbs.ac.uk.
How do we choose RAE Tutors that do not clash with our seminars?
We understand that you do not have a full timetable to help you choose your RAE seminar timings. If this presents a problem for you in Week 2 please contact the Economics UG Office.
The RAE Helpdesk can be found on the RAE Module page. This page is being developed to include the Forum and the Booking System and the names of the RAE Helpdesk tutors for this academic year.
We will notify RAE students when it’s ready to be used - most likely to be in Week 4 or 5.
How exactly will our attendance be monitored?
The Department has outlined a series of monitoring points during the year to monitor engagement. There are 13 of them. The monitoring points include:
- Lecture and Support & Feedback Class attendance
- Submission of module evaluation
- Exam attendance
Your attendance in classes is compulsory and will be recorded. You can view how monitoring points will be recorded either through Tabula or via your student handbook:
Can I attend a lecture audit only?
You are welcome to attend lectures as audit-only. However, you will not be permitted to participate in any corresponding assessments, and you cannot use the module as a pre-requisite for future use.
Assessments and Exams
I had reasonable adjustments during my A-levels, will these automatically continue into my degree?
If you had reasonable adjustments during your A-Levels or historically in school, these will not be automatically carried over. Please meet with a Disability Advisor who can discuss what reasonable adjustments may be helpful to you throughout your time here at Warwick: How can we help? | University of Warwick.
