These modules are not compulsory, but we do recommend them.(last year 124 out of 128 SH students did these modules)

Not available to with Biology, Financial Maths and with Management

non-MAS modules at Stage 1

Reminder: of your 120 credits 80 are Compulsory MAS modulesYou can take all, some or none of the extra MAS modules

The University rules allow you to take any other modules! Subject to:

• the timetable allowing it• the module leader/DPD accepting you (A level, module full)

Can be changed in first 2 – 3 weeks (DPD Form) The popular choices are those which occur in degree combinations with

Maths and Stats: Accounting, Business Studies, Psychology, Economics

as well as a language (e.g. Spanish, Chinese).

But which module? Usually the same as the JH and 'with' students.
