Selecting Modules

Note: The word module is how we refer to a subject or course in Ireland.

When and how can students choose modules?

Students will select their modules on arrival. They will receive an Academic Study Form at their International Information Session on 12th September 2018. The student is required to complete this Form in full and list the modules of their choice.

An example of Academic Study Form

During the first two weeks of the semester (starting on Monday, 17th September 2018) students can attend as many classes as they want, to find out which modules they want to follow during the semester.

Students are then required to submit their fully completed Academic Study Form to the International Office no later than Thursday, 27th September 2018 at 5:00pm to confirm their module choices.

After submitting the Academic Study Form to the International Office, students will be registered for their modules of choice. Once registered, students will gain access to Moodle (the Griffith College Online Learning Platform). Module registration normally takes up to three days.

This procedure will also be explained in detail to the students at their International Office Information Session on Wednesday, 12th September 2018.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose modules from one faculty only?

Students are permitted to choose modules across different faculties, subject to the approval of their home institution. They can only choose modules which appear in this Course Listings document.

I have already submitted my Academic Study Form to the International Office, but I would like to change my module/modules. Can I do that?

Once a student submits their Academic Study Form to the International Office, they cannot change their modules.

How many modules can I choose per semester if I am a Semester Abroad/Study Abroad Programme student?

Students normally select up to 4 or 5 modules per semester, up to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits.

For students who are not native English speakers, the number of modules depends on the students’ English language level.

Please see below how a given level of English corresponds to the number of modules that Study Abroad/Semester Abroad students can take:

Griffith College Placement Test No. of modules per semester
