Hey, I am doing Biochemistry! There is a list of the modules for each course on the Manchester Uni website, I don't think its all Biology, I know there are some compulsory Chemistry units for everyone, more for me I think. Everyone doing a Life Sciences degree has very similar lectures in the first year! :biggrin:

I have no idea about picking modules to be honest, I was assuming that we picked them when we got there, after welcome week. Where are you guys accomodated? I am in Oak House! :biggrin:

You pick them during Welcome Week. For me it was the very first Monday, then during the rest of the week there were various talks on where things are/who to contact/how to do things/what's happening over the year.

Almost everybody will have more or less the same first year, give or take a few modules. If you look on the website at your degree programme and take a look at what optional modules you can take you will have a good idea of what you want to pick when it comes to filling out the form. I didn't and just made a rash decision based on what I could pick and stuck down what seems interesting. Worked out in the end though. If you really don't like a module you can change it within 2 weeks of the start of teaching each semester.
