I'm going to university in October, and I think a couple other Matazonians are too. So, if I may, I'd like to draw on the wisdom of the British 'Zonians who are at or have been to university here.
First question: how easy is it to take individual modules that aren't a part of your course? I'm doing Philosophy; say I wanted to learn Mandarin in my free time. Could I? -------------------- Every sort of expert knowledge and every inquiry, and similarly every action and undertaking, seems to seek some good. Because of that, people are right to affirm that the good is 'that which all things seek'...

At my uni, in your first year you do set modules. Some courses offer a bit of choice to their students, but its all from a set list. Then, in the second year you can take one or more free choices depending on your course.
I think medicine and law students can't choose out-of-school modules, but as a philosophy student you'd be allowed. If its a language you want to learn, there might be extra-curricular courses to teach it. I know we kept getting asked to join various evening courses teach italian and spanish. I did an Introduction to Philosophy module as my free choice this year. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. -------------------- |
