Choosing your Modules

Choosing your Modules

During your first year, L100 and LM1D students are required to take between 132 and 150 CATs, and L116 students are required to take between 129 and 150 CATs. You should also ensure that you have looked at optional modules you wish to take and when/where they take place.

You can take optional modules within the Department of Economics or you may prefer to take an optional module from another Department, in which case you will need to speak to the relevant Department to register for those modules and find out when lectures/seminars/classes commence. Please also check with the Economics UG office to see if the module you have chosen is an approved external moduleLink opens in a new window or if you will need to complete an unusual options formLink opens in a new window to request permission to take this. Please also ensure you register on both eVision and also with the external department in order to secure your place.

Once lectures begin in Academic Week 1, you will typically have 2 hours of lectures per week for the remaining weeks of term. Even if your optional modules are not yet confirmed, you should be attending the relevant lectures until your decision has been finalised to ensure you do not miss any key information.

You will need to make sure that there are no timetable clashes with your optional modules and if one arises, you should go to the Undergraduate Office. You must finalise your module choices by the end of week 2. More information on choosing your optional modules will be available in the Optional Modules Session during Welcome Week.

Please note that you are not allowed to choose extra modules taking you over the 150 CATS limit.

eVision Module Registration

On your arrival to the University, you will need to register your module choices using the eVision Module Registration (EMR) system. Further details are available on the My Warwick mobile application.

You will have until the end of Week 2 to finalise your module choices on eMR. However, you can look at the available modules before you arrive and if you want to take an external module, you can register with individual departments. In some cases this may be a good idea, as certain modules can fill up very quickly. You should check with the relevant department to find out their registration procedures. You will also need to check any external modules appear on our approved list of modulesLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window and that you have also registered the modules on eMR.

Choosing Warwick Business School (WBS) Modules

Economics students wishing to register for WBS modules must do so through the my.wbs system and also on eVision. You are not required to contact the WBS undergraduate team or visit their office, although, you may of course contact them if you have any specific queries. In order to register for WBS modules, please set up your my.wbs.account which will enable you to access the module application system with ease when it is open.
