Senior undergraduate music students may be allowed to register for additional (non-music) modules that are not part of their enrolled curriculum, subject to certain conditions and official approval.
In this regard, please take note of the following applicable General Academic Rules:
2.3.2 A student who registers for the second, third or fourth year level of an undergraduate qualification or programme, and who has already passed all the required preceding modules of the qualification or programme concerned, may apply … to be allowed to register for a maximum of two additional modules per semester or two additional year modules, or one semester and one year module from the same qualification or programme or from another qualification or programme provided that —
2.3.2.1 no class or examination timetable clashes are brought about thereby, and
2.3.2.2 the maximum number of credits for which a student may register in a given academic year in terms of Rule 1.8 is not exceeded.
2.3.4 A student who failed modules that form part of the formal curriculum of a qualification or programme may not in the following year of study register for additional modules, neither from the same qualification or programme, nor from another qualification or programme before the failed modules have been passed.
Degree students who intend to continue with study for the PGCE, should read the PGCE Guide for Music Students.
Only diploma students with exemption for degree study are eligible to register for additional (non-music) modules.
The School of Music will consider applications for the scheduling of fully approved additional (non-music) modules, but no guarantee can be offered that it will be possible in all instances. The scheduling of music modules will always take precedence over additional modules.
Students have to apply by 31 October each year for additional modules to be taken into account in the compiling of the following year’s timetable.
Carefully follow and complete all the steps below by the deadline to ensure that your application is submitted in time:
1. Determine the exact module codes for the additional modules that you are interested in. (Consult the relevant yearbook.)
2. Download a copy of your academic record (available on DIY Services).
3. BMus students who will next year be in the 3rd or 4th year of the programme should first consult with their programme manager to determine their module choices for next year before completing and submitting this application.
4. Proceed to the application below. Keep your academic record ready to upload as part of your application.
For any enquiries about additional modules, contact your programme manager.
