Choosing your modules
- Consult your course handbook so you know what SSRMP modules you are required to take. If you have any questions regarding degree requirements please contact the Graduate Administrator in your Department, not the SSRMP;
- Discuss your choice of modules with your MPhil Director / PhD supervisor;
- Check that your choices satisfy the requirements of your funding body, if applicable;
- Take the Skill Check, if you want to take courses from the Basic Statistics Stream;
- Ensure that you meet any prerequisites for the modules you book;
- Check your timetable to ensure you can attend. If you have a place on a course and don't use use it, your department will still be charged;
- Above all, think ahead! If you have to do fieldwork next year, you'll need to get the necessary training this year.
