All students take practical Language throughout their degree programme. In later years you may either select units from several different fields or specialize in one particular field. Once the large University of Southampton registration has been completed and handed in to Arts Faculty staff you are registered on the central Student Information System as attending those units. Changes involving units taught in a given semester are not normally possible after the first two weeks of that semester. If you wish to change your degree course , the same form must be filled in as in the previous paragraph.
Essays form the basis of coursework in non-language units.
It is a departmental requirement that all essays should be typed or word-processed. If you consider that this requirement will create special problems for you, consult your tutor or the co-ordinator of the relevant unit. See Section 3 for information about the length of essays. It is obviously important to plan your essay schedule, and not to wait until the last minute before starting to write. Number the pages and indicate your student number on each page.
