Interdepartmental Modules

Students of Modern Languages must choose an interdepartmental module to the value of 15 credits in both Year 1 and Year 2. These are modules with codes beginning either ELCS or SEEE and any module may be taken in these groups. If you include the interdepartmental module in the SSEES 30 credits in one year you must include it in the SELCS 30 credits in the other year, or vice versa.
The SSEES Interdepartmental modules can be found here:

  • SSEES Modules in the sub-section “Intermediate Level Modules (Interdepartmental)”.

You may also take any intermediate level ELCS module listed on the SELCS webpages
