This decision is final, please ensure you have fully reviewed the information provided during the briefings this term, available on the PG Essentials ModuleLink opens in a new window
Route Choice
You will need to decide at this stage which route you wish to pursue in order for us to share information and prepare you for the Research Paper, Internship or BIP pathway. In term 2, Research Paper students will need to choose their internal or external project; Internship students will be applying for jobs and submitting their application to the school; and students selecting BIP will need to attend information events and create their group with students from other Masters Programmes.
If you wish to pursue the internship and also be considered for BIP, select the option: BIP with internship option below.
You cannot choose the internship and later be added to BIP.
However, if you select the internship, you may still be added to the internal research paper.

Term 2 Optional Modules
Module Leaders have provided videos to give insights into what thier module will cover, helping you to make an informed choice. Please make sure you are logged in to this page in the top right corner to be able to access the linked videos and content.

You can review the module aims, objectives and assessment methods. Please note the method of delivery or 'study time' can vary dependent on the term in which a module is offered. Term 2 modules will run over a 10-week term, with 3 hours of teaching content typically delivered per week. In Term 3 you will have condensed teaching over a 2 week period.

Term 3 Modules Choices
Term 3 modules will be split into pots, those taking place in weeks 4 & 5, and those in weeks 6 & 7. Internship and BIP Students cannot choose 2 modules from the same pot.
Confirmation of these pots will be provided in term 2
IB9HY0 Research Methods (Research Paper option only) will take place in weeks 2 & 3. Research Paper students can select one additional module from either pot.
Selection Process
The selection process will close on Wednesday 26 November at 12:00 (midday) and no further changes will be accepted after that time. While the form is open you can make changes, however any resubmission will overwrite previous submissions.
You must rank modules by preference (1 being your top choice, 2 your second choice, 3 your third choice etc. ).
If demand exceeds spaces available on a module, you will be allocated at random (i.e. not on a first come first served basis) to fill the number of places available. You are asked to indicate your 1-4 choices on the form in case we are not able to grant you a place on your preferred option.
Please note that a module also needs a minimum number of participants to run. If a module does not attract enough interest it will be cancelled.
Please ensure you have fully reviewed the information available before making your selection to ensure you have fully understood the process.
Once the selections have been finalised you will be registered to the confirmed module and will be able to access the module area on my.wbs.
If you have any questions please e-mail managementPG@wbs.ac.uk.
