Introduction to Modularisation

Module Identifiers

Most of the information on the summary is self-explanatory but the following may help you understand it better:

Module Identifiers

BS	3	01	10
The Department offering the module (Biology)	The level of the module	The module number	The credit weighting of the module

Other examples are:
LA30110 a Level 3 module offered by Law worth 10 credits
HY30120 a Level 3 module offered by History worth 20 credits
FF20110 a Level 2 module offered by French through the Medium of Welsh (Ffrangeg) worth 10 credits
