TERMINOLOGY

At University of Roehampton, a class or course is called a “module” while a degree or field of study is called a “course.” 

HOW MANY MODULES CAN I TAKE?

Students will take 3-4 modules per semester. Please note that taking over 60 UK credits may result in an additional fee. Contact us for more details. 

CREDITS

Modules can be worth 10 or 20 UK credits (4-5 UK Credits = approximately 1 U.S. semester credit.) Students who take the standard 3-4 single modules per semester will earn approximately 12-16 semester credits in one semester.

IMPORTANT: SEMESTER STUDENTS MUST ENROLL IN 60 UK CREDITS.

Please note that some yearlong modules have been split in credit to allow autumn- or spring-only attendees to enroll for half with appropriate assessment and credit. Pre-approval is required. Please select “A” modules when attending in autumn and “S” modules when attending in the spring.

LEVELS & PREREQS

You will find courses offered at the 100, 200, and 300 levels. The 200- and 300-level courses at Roehampton are often equivalent to junior- and senior-year courses in the U.S. They will likely have prerequisites.

MODULE CODES

Within each program, you will find course listings in this format: ANT020C151Y. The 3 initial letters refer to the program. The 3 numbers that follow indicate the credits that the course is worth: 010 is 10 UK credits (3 U.S.); 020 is 20 UK credits ( 4-5 U.S. credits). The next letter refers to the year of study: C = year 1, N = year 2, X = year 3.
The following 3 numbers are the actual course number. The last letter is the course code: “A” courses are only offered during the autumn semester and “S” only during the spring semester. “Y” courses are yearlong and are available only to students attending for the full academic year.*

So, the course code ANT020C151Y means: Anthropology, worth 20 UK credits (4 or 5 U.S.), first-year level, course number 151, yearlong.

MANDATORY ALTERNATE MODULES

You MUST have 8 modules approved by your home institution. This will give you back-ups in case of cancellations or schedule conflicts.
