    how to find out individual modules in computing and IT degrees
    There is several computing and IT degree pathways but when I click on one they don't really state past the first year what modules are how do I find out?

    I don't know whether they've actually said what the pathways will be under the new setup - I might have an old prospectus somewhere if you want to know what they used to be, but I haven't seen anything definitive for Q degrees.

    Yes, it's very odd why this is the case. I'm assuming that they must be working on the module breakdown for each pathway.

    I'm enrolled on B62, imagine many of the pathways will mirror what our options are.

    Gimme a shout if you want me to let you know what the "pathways" we have on that are.

    Cheers

    I don't think any new degree lists modules past the first year. Maybe once you enroll they become available.

    You have to be signed in to view that link - it's only for current students And it also refers to the 'old' B degrees rather than the new Q degrees that students starting this year will be doing. Although I don't know if it's been actually stated if Q degrees will differ much from B, or if it's just in the name...

    My understanding is that the Q degrees will host a very clear and specific structured set of pathways. You'll still have options in which pathways you can take within the degree, but I think this has primarily been designed to take into account the changes in funding for you poor souls South of the Border.
