Module registration is the process of selecting the elective modules you intend to study in a particular academic year.
You should consult your departmental guidelines before you complete module registration. You will be able to modify your choice(s) during the first two weeks of each semester ONLY and It is your responsibility to ensure that your module registration is up-to-date and accurate. Module registration should normally be balanced across the two semesters (ie. you normally register for 60 credits in each semester). Please note that not all programmes offer a choice of modules and therefore you might not have the opportunity to alter the modules that are allocated to you.
If you are not registered for a module then you are not permitted to attend lectures or to take assessments for that module. If you register for a module then you are deemed to be taking it or to have taken it, even if deregistration or withdrawal follows, unless you transfer the registration to another module.
If you have advanced standing, then only the assessment completed at Queen Mary during the current registration period will be taken into account, placing you on an equal footing with other students. Postgraduate students may be given advanced standing for up to 25% of the taught component of a masters programme. The decision to award advanced standing is made during the admissions process.
A compulsory module is a module that must be taken. A core module is a module that must be taken and passed. Both have to be taken and therefore you will not be able to opt out of these modules during module registration. These are different to elective modules which you choose to take and do not have to be passed. Your school or institute will be able to confirm which modules are core and compulsory.
You can take a module at another UoL college such as Kings College London, University College London, London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies.
To register for one of these modules you will need to complete the form below and get approval from your academic School or Institute, as well as approval from the other college.

You register for your modules using MySIS, just log in as normal and select the 'module registration' option from the left hand side. You must complete module registration by the specified deadline, which your school will inform you of.
All of your core or compulsory modules will have already been pre-selected for you and they cannot be changed.
When you come to select the elective modules that you want to take you'll notice that each module has a module description page that you can read in the bottom-right corner. Once you've read through all of the descriptions you'll be ready to make your choices by selecting your chosen modules from the lists on the left-hand side. You will have an opportunity to send comments to your School or Institute if you want to about the choices you have made as you are selecting your modules.
Once you have selected all of your elective modules your choices will be sent to your School or Institute for approval (e.g. they will make sure that there aren't any timetable clashes and your modules are balanced for each semester).
All of your selections must be confirmed and approved by your School or Institute by the specified deadline and the final outcome of your choices will be confirmed to you by email. Schools and Institutions can also reject your selections. If they do this you will receive an email and you will be able to re-select.
Please note that all modules have a limited number of places and priority is given to students who are required to take them for their programmes, so it is important that you choose your electives and complete module registration as soon as possible.
