What you can study
The Department of Sociology, Politics, and International Relations welcomes associate students to many modules within our programmes.
The Queen Mary Module Directory allows you to search and filter the latest modules available to associate students in the School, as well as providing key information on learning outcomes and assessment requirements.
Understanding module credit
You will have received guidance about the number of credits you need to complete per semester of study at QMUL. Please check to make sure that your module selection meets these guidelines and that your overall selection is approved by your home institution.
Normally, you should take a total of 60 credits per semester at Queen Mary.
Students may take four 15 credit modules in one semester (4 x 15 = 60 credits). However, some modules that run in only one semester are worth 30 credits instead of the usual 15. If you take one of these modules, then you should only take a further 30 credits in total for the semester (e.g. two 15 credit modules).
