NOTE on Electives: The elective listed on the Year 1 timetable above is the recommended elective for your course. This has been selected based on its suitability for your course and as a result it has been scheduled to guarantee that it doesn’t clash with your mandatory module.
There are other modules being delivered in Semester 1 on alternate MSc programmes. Students who wish to avail of a place on one of these modules may do so if it aligns with their personal career goals. Places for alternate electives are limited and not guaranteed - preference is given to students from the core MSc programme, thereafter places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Timetable clashes can occur and students may be required to view the recordings. Timetable change requests will not be facilitated.
Under no circumstances should you register for a module listed on another timetable without it first being approved by the course coordinator.
