Course unit list

Most disciplines are able to offer assessment before the Christmas break so that students who are required to return to their home institution by early January can complete their studies at Manchester in time to facilitate this.

Please note that, where available, alternative assessment can only be granted where a clash of semester dates requires a return to an overseas institution before the end of the fall semester in Manchester. Home university verification will be required. Fall assessment is also only available to students studying at Manchester for the fall semester only.

When you follow the links below, you will notice that in some cases you are taken to a page which begins with general information about the three-year bachelors degree programme in that subject area. Much of this introductory information is not relevant for study abroad and exchange students, who are allowed to select individual course units from across different levels and degree programmes. You should therefore simply scroll towards the bottom of each page to find the links through to the individual course units available for you to select. Please disregard instructions about certain units being mandatory.

Please note that the course units displayed on the site are for the current academic year, which runs from September to June. If your application for study is for the following academic year, course units are expected to be updated in May prior to the relevant September academic year start. Many course units run consistently from year to year, but you should remember when constructing your Proposed Study Plan that there may be changes to course-unit availability in the next academic year.

Please note that restrictions apply to courses units offered in some subject areas and that appropriate academic prerequisites are always required.
