Undergraduate Modules for 2023-24
The modules in this section are only applicable to students who will be studying them between September 2023 and August 2024.
If you intend to study one of these modules from September 2024 or later, you may refer to these descriptors as a guide; but please be aware that details they contain – including (but not limited to) reading lists, duration and assessments – may change for your academic year.
We are committed to providing an outstanding education and high-quality teaching. You can find out details of your modules and any potential changes on these pages. If you are a returning student, joining after the first year or a postgraduate student details of your module changes will be provided in August. Find out more about the overall teaching and learning approach on your course, and please be aware that this information may supersede the specified teaching and learning activities within individual modules.
If you are a Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences offer-holder, please also check your modules on the Sport and Health Sciences pages.
