Module Guidance
At Ulster we call the individual subjects that you will study modules. They are sometimes called classes or courses at other universities.
You are required to study either for a Semester or a Full Year and meet the UK credits.
| STUDY OPTION | UK CREDITS | ECTS CREDITS | US CREDITS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Module | 20 | 10 | 5 |
| Semester | 60 | 30 | 15 |
| Full Year | 120 | 60 | 30 |
You may choose modules from a range of subjects or take a more focused approach by choosing to specialise in a specific area, the choice is yours.
Depending on the terms of our agreement with your home institution you may be restricted to a specific subject area. If you would like to take modules outside your subject area, you must get permission from your home institution.
Module Level
Before selecting your modules please ensure that you have confirmed with your home institution the correct module level you will be required to study.
| Level | Year |
|---|---|
| 4 | First year of a Full-Time Undergraduate degree course |
| 5 | Second year of a Full-Time Undergraduate degree course |
| 6 | Final year Honours standard |
| 7 | Postgraduate level (Master’s) |
For Undergraduate level students it is our recommendation you select Level 4 or Level 5 modules to ensure you have the best experience at Ulster.
Module Selection by Campus
You will be required to select six modules in order of preference per semester from our subject list by campus (you will only be required to enrol for three):
When you find a module that you would like to study click on the module title to check the campus, semester, academic year and level of study.

Important Information
Important
Due to class size restrictions, places on modules are not guaranteed for any student at Ulster but are allocated on a first-come, first served basis.
It is recommended that you are prepared to be flexible with module selection.
All selected modules must be on the same campus as it is not possible to study across all our campuses.
You have the option within the first two weeks of enrolment to amend your modules.
Please ask a member of the team for more information.
