---|---|
Non-condonable compulsory module | A module that must be taken and passed to meet requirements for progression or award or as a requirement of a Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Body (PSRB). Non-condonable compulsory modules cannot be condoned. Additionally, individual module assessments may also be defined as non-condonable. |
Optional module | A non-compulsory module that is identified in the programme specification and may be taken for a particular programme subject to specified minimum and maximum credit values. Optional modules can be condoned. |
Elective module | A non-compulsory module that is not identified in the programme specification but may be taken to increase modularity, subject to specified maximum credit values. Elective modules can be condoned. |
Pre-requisite module | A specified module that must be taken before a subsequent specified module can be taken. |
