About modules
A module is an optional grouping of three courses on a particular theme designed to complement the skills you will develop through your Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Communication.
What are modules?
Modules are three courses grouped together around a particular theme. They are designed to add to your skill set for future employment and potentially benefit your future career path.
For the BA, modules are optional, and you can take one or two of them.
For the BC, modules are compulsory and all students will take one of them.
The benefits of taking a module

- Gain capabilities in specific, skills-based areas outside your majors.
- Stand out from other graduates and enhance
your career prospects. - Have your module formally acknowledged on your academic record to demonstrate your additional knowledge and skills.
How do I take a module?
