They will receive an Academic Study Form at their International Information Session on 27 th January The student is required to complete this Form in full and list the modules of their choice. An example of Academic Study Form During the first two weeks of the semester (starting on Monday, 1 st February) students can attend as many classes as they want, to find out which modules they want to follow during the semester. Students are then required to submit their fully completed Academic Study Form to the International Office no later than Thursday, 11 th February 2015 at 5:00pm to confirm their module choices. After submitting the Academic Study Form to the International Office, students will be registered for their modules of choice.
