What are students saying about their choices of elective modules?
Students generally appreciate having a wide range of module choices, allowing them to specialise in areas that interest them. Many feel that this variety enables them to tailor their degree to their strengths and future career aspirations. Some students value the freedom to choose modules from different subjects, which broadens their knowledge and understanding.
However, some students express frustration with limited module options, particularly if they cannot secure a place in their preferred modules. This can lead to feelings of disappointment and disillusionment. A few students suggest that the module selection process can be rushed, leaving them feeling pressured to make choices without adequate time for consideration.
Some students appreciate the opportunity to explore niche research areas within specific modules, which allows them to develop a deeper understanding of their chosen subject. Others value the flexibility to pursue topics not necessarily core to their degree programme.
A common concern among students is the feeling of being restricted by a limited number of optional modules, leading some to suggest that more choices would be beneficial. A few students expressed disappointment with the lack of variety in module assessments, suggesting that more diverse assessment methods would better cater to different learning styles.
Overall, students place significant value on having various module options and flexibility within their degree programme. While many appreciate the existing variety, some students feel constrained by limited choices or inflexible module structures.
