Academic Major/Minor

Where possible, the Major/Minor subject listed will likely determine the host department of the incoming student. If this is not possible (e.g. Aberystwyth does not offer Nursing), the host department will be assigned based on the student’s provisional module choices.

Provisional Module Choices

Students are advised to research modules by visiting

Modules are given codes as follows:

GG23910 – Glacial Processes and Landforms

GG / 2 / 39 / 10

Subject codeCourse levelCourse identifierCredit Value

1 – First Year (Part 1) 10 AU credits = 5 ECTS

2 – Second Year (Part 2)

3 – Second/Third Year (Part 2)

Incoming students are advised to consider Part 2 Modules as these are likely to be of an appropriate level.

Aberystwyth University students will usually take 120 credits in a year and around 60 per semester. This is equivalent to 60 ECTS per year and 30 ECTS per semester)

It is down to the student’s home institution to determine how many credits and modules are appropriate for conversion purposes. Please note, selecting modules totaling over 60 credits will increase the likelihood of timetabling clashes. Modules that are listed as having 00 credits are run over both semesters and would therefore be unsuitable for students only studying at Aberystwyth for one semester. Where Pre-Requisite courses are listed for a module, students are advised to contact the Module Coordinator to check their suitability.

N.B. Modules listed on the Application form are not guaranteed – students will still need to register on arrival and some modules may have changed from those listed. Students will be provided with guidance during registration if this is the case.

Please note that students should not feel that they are limited to taking modules in one department, however taking modules in multiple departments can cause issues with timetabling.
