Module choices in Chemistry

Please follow the guidance on this page. If you apply to study modules that are not permitted by your School/Department, your learning agreement may be returned to you. If you have any questions, please contact the Exchange Co-ordinator. Detailed information about each module is shown in the Module Specification pages.

Number of credits

The recommended number of credits per semester is 30 ECTS credits (60 Loughborough credits).

You are advised not to exceed this recommendation.

Module options

Restrictions may apply, based on your previous level of experience in any given subject area. The Exchange Co-ordinator will discuss the suitability of your module choices with you in more detail if required.

You may choose Chemistry modules from either:

  • Part B (Year 2) - 24CMBxxx codes; or
  • Part C (Year 3) - 24CMCxxx codes; or
  • Part D (Year 4 - MChem) - 24CMDxxx codes; or
  • Postgraduate modules - 24CMPxxx codes

Part A (Year 1) modules are not available to exchange students.

If you choose postgraduate modules, you can only select one option from 24CMP064 Innovations in Analytical Science and 24CMP066 Innovations in Medicinal Chemistry.

Research projects

It is recommended that you do not choose 24CMD001 Research Project, as this is a full year module taught in both Semesters 1 and 2 which is worth 30 ECTS credits.

Can I choose modules from other Schools/Departments?

No, you must choose all your modules from within Chemistry (CM module codes).
