We are not changing the subject or the title of the degree you are studying for, or the overall coverage of the degree.  We are changing the structure of how the content of the degree is being delivered across the year.

I am a second year student: Your planned final year courses will already have been based on 15 or 30 credits and consequently there will be little change for your programmes.

I am a first year student: Your second year courses for next year will have now been structured to fit the new credit framework and will continue to have the relevant quality and content to meet the course and programme learning outcomes. If you have any queries about your courses for your second and final years please contact your School Office.  We are in the process of updating the information on Sussex Direct and will notify you when this is available.
