During years 3 and 4 of your degree you choose which modules you take.
There is an ME34 Module selection forum on Thursday 5th June to ask questions about specific modules.
Students who are going on a Year Abroad or Year in Industry in 2025/26 do not need to choose modules until May/June 2026.
Mech-Eng elective modules
Your choices will be submitted via the ME Survey on Microsoft Forms. You will receive an email with the link to complete your selection.
When selecting your Mech-Eng elective modules, we highly recommend that you look at the 2024/25 deadline calendar on SharePoint to understand the termtime workload for each module. Please note that deadlines and weightings for some modules may change in 2025-26.
The most up to date information can be found on Blackboard under the ME Optional Modules (Electives) - Key Information organisation.
Capped modules
Some modules are capped. This means they have limitations on how many students can enrol.
Please limit the number of capped modules that you register for. Our aim is to ensure that students can enrol on at least ONE of the capped modules they have applied for. Some of these modules are coursework heavy, which will increase your workload during term if you choose too many.
In the module selection survey, we ask that you rank the capped modules in order of preference– if you have selected more than one. It is always possible that modules not currently listed as ‘capped’ may become oversubscribed, as we cannot predict how popular modules will be from year to year.
If you are unsuccessful for any Mech Eng module or IDX module then you will receive an email in July/August asking you to select a replacement module (all modules are subject to availability).
