Course Codes: As a general rule, the structure of a module’s code is made up of a sequence of letters and numbers. The module code starts with two letters which denote the Discipline teaching the module (e.g., AN – Anatomy, BI – Biochemistry, CH – Chem- istry etc). The remainder of the module code is made up of three numbers. The first number in the sequence normally indicates the year the module is delivered to e.g. CH205 is a module offered to second year students. EOS303 is a module offered to third year domestic students. Module codes with the starting with the numbers 4 or 5 are normally offered to 3rd and/or 4th year students. Visiting and Erasmus students are offered courses from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year. Attendance at science classes is required from week 1 of term to ensure that students do not miss laboratory/practical classes.
