Module Types
The modules which must or may be taken to accumulate credit within a given programme should be defined in terms of:
Mandatory Modules - students must take these modules. There are two types of Mandatory Module:
- Core Programme Modules – programme specification mandates that these modules must be taken.
- Common CIT Modules – modules which every student registered for a CIT award must take.
Elective Modules - students must take at least the required number of these modules from a list, and according to such a scheme as described in the programme specification. There are two types of Elective Module:
- Cognate Electives – these are modules related to the discipline area of the programme.
- Free Choice - the student has free choice of any module contained in the CIT Book of Modules provided the timetable allows and there are places available.
