Can I choose modules from other Schools/Departments?

It may 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 Computer Science
