Each module has a ‘module convenor’ listed who you may contact to find out more about that module and answer any questions.

Step 4 – Select a Goldsmiths Elective

If your programme requires you to select an elective module, you must choose the module you would like to take.

Electives are cross-disciplinary modules that allow students to work with other students from different disciplines. The aim of elective modules is to expand students' knowledge and experiences while at university by allowing them to take vocational or topical modules from other departments.

Step 5 - Select from your programme specific modules

Remember to balance your modules over the year.

As you select modules the credits selected total will go up.

If you want to take modules from a different department, tick the box.

Step 7 (optional) - Select modules at another college within the University of London

If you want to study modules from another University of London institution, tick the box and add the details of the module, credits, level and institution.

You must first discuss this with your personal tutor or programme convenor.

Step 8 - Complete your selection of the required credits
