Borrowable Modules
Students should choose two modules from their own (or 'home') MPhil course. It is possible, however, to borrow one module from another MPhil - please see the list below, as not all modules are available to borrow. Acceptance onto a module may be subject to certain conditions (which are listed), and in all cases, you should discuss taking the option with the module convenor. Please consult your Course Director if you are thinking of taking a module outside your 'home' MPhil. You must obtain your Course Director's approval, and that of the module convenor in order to be enrolled on that course. Where numbers are high, preference will be given to students enrolled on the 'home' MPhil.
