Undergraduate course options

An INTO adviser is on hand to discuss the student’s choice of modules (maximum 2 modules per semester) as these may depend on previous study and the availability of places. Each undergraduate module requires at least three hours’ contact time per week and extensive reading, independent research and preparation. University undergraduate modules run from 22 September to 12 December 2008 and 12 January to 3 April 2009. Students wishing to join these modules must be available for the entire semester in order to be considered for credits from University of East Anglia. This will mean additional weeks of accommodation in the January – May University semester. Exams for some modules may take place in June. A social programme is included at extra cost e.g. a half day excursion to the north Norfolk coast is approximately £10 and a full day excursion to London is approximately £20.
