Option Courses

Choosing an option course

Points to consider:


Options are chosen in the first week of the autumn term. They are entered on your Course Registration and Examination Entry Form (CREEF). To select an option course, enter the title, department and course value on the form and have the entry initialled by the course organiser. The completed CREEF must be returned to the course tutor by the end of registration week.

It is possible to change courses after the CREEF form is submitted, but this entails completing a change of course unit form obtainable from the faculty office (Life Sciences office in Drayton House).
