Programmes at York have always been characterised by a level of flexibility in patterns of study, by a good range of combined programmes and a high degree of choice in options. These characteristics are formalised in a University-wide modular structure, which aims to:
Clarify programme structures and requirements through the use of a common currency
Maintain flexibility in the way students structure their programmes
Provide opportunities for students to take modules outside their main department, numbers permitting
A standard workload is represented by 120 credits per year, so students on three-year programmes will accumulate 360 credits, and those on four-year programmes 480 credits.
