2 CHOICE AND ELECTIVE MODULES FOR LEVELS 2, 3 & 4 IN SESSION 2014/15 Introduction One of the distinctive features of our curriculum is that we offer choice modules which will be available to the entire Conservatoire community once it has been fully rolled out. So, that makes it possible for you to take modules which are not part of your core programme. 1. How many modules do I need? You are required to pick a minimum of five modules, this is to ensure we have enough options for allocation as it is unlikely that you will get your top two or three modules. a. Students moving onto second year need 20 credits b. Students moving onto third year need 20 credits c. Students moving onto fourth year (as applicable) need 30 credits 2. Which modules can I choose? The table at the end of this booklet shows which modules are available to you. Please note we cannot guarantee all modules will run. 3. Why do I need to place my module choices in order of preference? We will use your preferences during the allocation process and, unless a module is over- or under-subscribed, you will be allocated to your top preferences. 4. What should I think about when I make my choices? 2 If you need any assistance with this process please choice@rcs.ac.uk
