Each module has a ‘module convenor’ listed who you may contact to find out more about that module and answer any questions.

Step 4 – Select a Goldsmiths Elective

If your programme requires you to select an elective module, you must choose the module you would like to take.

Electives are cross-disciplinary modules that allow students to work with other students from different disciplines. The aim of elective modules is to expand students' knowledge and experiences while at university by allowing them to take vocational or topical modules from other departments.

Step 5 - Select from your programme specific modules

Select the modules would like to take.

Remember to balance your modules over the year.

As you select modules the credits selected total will go up.

If you want to take modules from a different department, tick the box.

You will then be able to select the department and find the module.

You must first discuss this with your personal tutor or programme convenor and then with the relevant module staff.

Step 7 (optional) - Select modules at another college within the University of London

If you want to study modules from another University of London institution, tick the box and add the details of the module, credits, level and institution.

Step 8 - Complete your selection of the required credits

Once you have selected all your modules and have the total number of credits shown, click 'Continue' at the bottom of this screen.

This example shows a full-time year with 120 credits. Part-time years will be different.
