Discovery Modules
• You are also required to study 20 credits of
discovery modules, which may include further
choices from the optional modules for this
programme.
But, be careful…
• You must pass all compulsory modules and 20
credits from the list of optional modules in order to
progress to Year 3
• Think about choosing additional optional modules
rather than discovery module just in case you fail
one of your options
