Which optional modules can I take?

On some courses, second-year students are permitted to take an outside option. You can find out whether you are allowed to take an outside option by looking at your course structure which is available:

• within the personalised Module Enrolment system, called eNROL, eNROL is available from 12.00 on Wednesday 20th April to 08.59 on Monday 25th October.

• in the Programme Specification for your course. You can find this by clicking on your course title in the myStudy channel of myEssex.

Students taking courses in Humanities and Comparative Studies which permit an outside option may choose their option from the Departments of Art History, History, Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies, Language and Linguistics, Philosophy, and Sociology.

Students taking courses in Social Sciences which permit an outside option may choose their option from the Departments of Economics, Government, Language and Linguistics, Mathematical Sciences, Philosophy, Psychoanalytic Studies, Sociology and the Essex Business School.

Students on single honours courses in Law can request special permission to replace one Law option with an outside option. If you are interested in doing this, you should contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the School of Law.
