Undergraduate Registration Tasks

Pre-Registration is the task in which you will choose your option modules.

If you wish to study a module through the medium of Welsh, and any of your core modules are available in Welsh, you can make these choices during Pre-Registration.

Before completing Pre-Registration, you should seek advice from your academic department. Once submitted, your choices will be sent to your department(s) for approval.

Please see the Detailed Guidance on Pre-Registration

Online Registration is the final stage to Register to become a student with us. 

You will be asked to:

• Confirm your personal details
• Confirm your Study Scheme and Module details*
• Accept Aberystwyth University terms and conditions
• Complete any outstanding registration requirements

* Distance Learning Courses - you are only required to confirm your Study Scheme details. Modules may be purchased as guided by your Academic Department.
