Module Availability
Some modules, particularly the Introduction to Astronomy, run every year, but others at levels 1, 2 and 3 are offered according to a rota. We endeavour to ensure that all our students have modules to which they may progress, but they will need to consult this module availability for planning their future studies.
Our next planned review of the module availability will be in January 2014 following the recruitment to courses in the 2013/14 academic year. The running of modules is subject to adequate recruitment each year.
