Module choices in Physics

Please follow the guidance on this page. If you apply to study modules that are not permitted by your School/Department, your learning agreement may be returned to you. If you have any questions, please contact the Exchange Co-ordinator. Detailed information about each module is shown in the Module Specification pages.

Number of credits

The recommended number of credits per semester is 30 ECTS credits (60 Loughborough credits).

You are advised not to exceed this recommendation.

Module options

Study exchanges will normally be for the full academic year. The Physics modules (PH codes) available to incoming exchange students are listed below.  Restrictions may apply based on your previous level of experience in any given subject area and you are encouraged to contact the Exchange Co-ordinator to discuss the suitability of your module choices as far in advance as possible. 

Part D (Year 4) modules are suitable for students who have already completed three years or more of degree-level study.

Mixing modules from different Parts or Schools/Departments may result in a timetable clash.

Can I choose modules from other Schools/Departments?

It might be possible for you to take a minority of your modules in another School/Department, but you will need to discuss it in advance with the Exchange Co-ordinator.

Module(s) offered by another School/Department must be signed off by the respective Exchange Co-ordinator before you return your final learning agreement to Physics.
