Module selection guidance

All postgraduate modules run for a semester and most are worth 20 UK credits (10 ECTS or 4 US credits). You can choose modules from a master's course according to the semester in which you intend to study. The master's course should correspond to the course you are studying at your home university. You must be registered for a master's course at your home university before you attend postgraduate classes at London Met. A transcript of any classes taken and grades obtained should be supplied with your application.

You can follow many of the MA's and MSc's from the list of our postgraduate courses, as long as you are already studying that subject. Some may not be available and you will be advised of this. You can also take modules from different courses if they are similar to your own. Some may require course leader approval.

Please note that modules from the MBA require the approval of the course leader at London Met for study abroad students to join. The current MBA modules are:

  • MN7027 Business Problem Solving
  • MN7028 Breakthrough Leadership Skills
  • MN7029 Financial Decision Making
  • MN7030 Digital Business Delivery
  • MN7032 Marketing in the Digital World
  • MN7031 Global Strategy and Innovation

Academic credit

If you are applying for postgraduate study as part of the Study Abroad programme you can take either one, two or three modules per semester and pay according to the number you take. The cost for each module can be found under the fees and key information section on the individual course pages when you choose the Overseas, part-time option. Please be aware that modules from different courses may have different fees.

PG modules at London Met are worth 20 UK credits which equate to 10 ECTS. Some American institutions convert 20 UK credits to 3 US credits and some as 4.

Modules

For the most part, modules for our postgraduate courses can be found on our course pages. You can also search for modules in our online module catalogue.

On each module page you'll find the following information:

  • teaching location – all subjects, apart from some art, architecture and design, are taught at Holloway campus
  • teaching semester – make sure the module is taught during the semester for which you are applying
  • time slot – ensure you do not choose two modules that are taught on the same day at the same time
  • module summary – check that the content being covered is interesting/appropriate to you and how the module will be assessed

Please note that not all of the modules listed will be available and your intended study programme is subject to change. It is important to have approved alternatives in case of schedule changes. Core modules will always run as advertised. Option modules will only run if enough students register for them.
