Module sequence refers to the order in which certain modules must be studied. To build on previous learning, students may be required to take some modules either before (pre-requisite) or at the same time as (co-requisite) others.
These pre- and co-requisite rules relating to the modules listed below currently apply to all postgraduate students who wish to study modules that have a pre- or co-requisite requirement.
If the rules apply to a student, they can't study certain modules unless they have already passed a particular named module (a pre-requisite), or they have studied a particular named module/intend to study it at the same time (a co-requisite).
If a student intends to study one of the modules listed below, they will need to check their module description to ensure they understand the new requirements. Students will be prevented from enrolling online unless they have passed any required prerequisites or will be required to enrol on two modules if there is a co-requisite.
However, students may be able to apply for an exemption from studying a pre- or co-requisite module. To find out about the circumstances in which an exemption may be possible, and to apply, please see Pre and co-requisite exemptions.
The postgraduate modules listed below are those which currently have a pre-requisite or co-requisite requirement:
