Module choices in Computer Science
Please follow the guidance on this page. If you apply to study modules that are not permitted by your School/Department, your learning agreement may be returned to you. If you have any questions, please contact the Exchange Co-ordinator. Detailed information about each module is shown in the Module Specification pages.
Number of credits
The recommended number of credits per semester is 30 ECTS credits (60 Loughborough credits).
You are advised not to exceed this recommendation.
Module options
The Computer Science modules (CO codes) available to you are listed below. Modules with an asterisk ✱ have the additional pre-requisite of a qualification that is equivalent to an A level in Mathematics (grade B or higher).
Restrictions apply based on your previous level of experience in any given subject area. Please contact the Exchange Co-ordinator to discuss the suitability of your module choices.
Please note that the Department of Computer Science can only accept applications from students on University-wide international exchange programmes.

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
