Module Section

Students should be aware that there are module requirements that need to be fulfilled in their second year of study, regardless of them studying abroad. Students need to take and pass modules equivalent to 60 King's credits for one semester, taking into account any pre-requisites for third-year modules. It is compulsory for BSc Political Economy to complete the following module in the second semester of their second year: - Econometrics You must check the module catalogues of your preferred institutions, to make sure that they offer the modules that you need. Important: if you are unable to register on the equivalent of the compulsory Econometrics module at your host university, you will either need to withdraw from the semester abroad and complete your second year at King's, or transfer to the BA track. Our partner universities cannot guarantee space on particular modules and we are unable to influence this. Please consider this before applying to study abroad.
