10. Free Electives If you are taking Psychology only, you must sign up for one Free Elective (FE) module of your choice so that you end up with 120 credits in total. FE are modules offered from a variety of academic disciplines – completely different or complementary – chosen for interest or to develop a new skill. Departments offering FE include: – biological sciences, business school, educational studies, computer science, chemistry, criminology, film and media, geography, history, law, modern languages, music, politics, philosophy.

11. FE Options You can choose the Psychology module 'Pioneers in Modern Psychology‘ or a module run by a different department.

12. FE Options Supporting international students: the School of Languages, Linguistics and Culture is offering free electives modules in subjects which could help international students with their language needs: – English for Academic Purposes, – High Level General English, – British Society and Culture,...

13. When considering a non-Psych FE... Every department works differently and can have different expectations/styles of writing. – For example, some of the languages modules do not allow re-sits. Carefully check the details of the different FE modules available and make sure you understand: – What they are about – How they are assessed and – Whether you need to undertake any practical work, e.g. working in a school or other setting. Must be able to fulfil the requirements, e.g. transport. It is your responsibility to liaise with the other department yourself

14. More things you need to know... Most FEs are timetabled for Thursday afternoons but there are exceptions.  You must make sure your FE does not conflict with your other courses with your departmental timetable for BOTH semesters. In Psychology, your FE mark will count towards 1/6 of your grade in your first year. To check out what other departments are offering as alternatives:  Refer to your FE handbook for module descriptions  Go to tomorrow’s Free Electives Fair

15. Once you have picked your FE You need to register for your Free Elective module. With the core psychology module: you will have a credit total of 100 – You need 120 credits in total – Your FE will provide you with the extra 20

16. Free Elective Module If you do not register for a free elective module outside psychology, you will be automatically registered for the Psychology Free Elective – “Pioneers in Modern Psychology”
