Codes Pre-Requisites Marking Scheme Information for subsid. The modular system is intended to give you a certain amount of freedom to follow your personal interests. To obtain a qualification, you must build up a number of 'credits' by taking a number of 'modules' each 'semester'.
Most modules occupy just one semester.
However, there are many variations on this theme. In particular, students with unconventional entry qualifications may have a Foundation Year before their Qualifying stage. The concept of 'the level of a module' helps to cater for these stages and variations. The code for a particular module is made up of six characters, for example 'AA1 123'. The first two characters indicate the School responsible for the module.
