Module Codes Explained

The letters of a module code indicate the department the module belongs to e.g. HST prefix means this is a module from the School of History. The level of the module indicates the academic level of the module. The levels are 4, 5 and 6 for a bachelor’s degree and reflect the levels listed in the framework for higher education qualifications. Levels correspond with academic years i.e.

• Level 4 is an introductory university-level module (Year 1 modules) = module code will start with 4 and end with the letter A if it is running in semester one or B if running in semester two (e.g. HST4623A)
• Level 5 is an intermediate university-level module (Year 2 modules) = module code will start with 5 (e.g. HST5391)
• Level 6 is an advanced university-level module (Year 3 modules) - module code will start with 6 (e.g. HST6215)
