How do I select subjects / modules?

Schematic for Building Curriculum - Building Blocks

  • TAUGHT POSTGRAD Students - You can add / delete Sem 2 optional modules from 8th Jan to 1st Feb.  Sem 1 and Yearlong modules require you to liaise with the discipline.
  • After 1st Feb - You must get approval from your Course Director with regard to what modules you are allowed to take at this stage.  You can list the modules you want to take and email your Course Director, copying reghelp@nuigalway.ie.  Once he/she approves the mail, we can add the modules for you.

  • Important Exam Timetable Information:
    Please note that the Exam timetable has now been produced, any  module addition will not appear on your personal timetable.  When the exam timetable goes ‘live’ you must then call to the Student Information Centre, Ground Floor, Áras Uí Chathail (check www.nuigalway.ie/sid for opening hours) to register as an ‘Exam Late Entry’ for any semester 1 modules that are missing from your exam timetable. 
    Any Deleted modules at this stage will appear on your personal timetable but you can ignore this as it has been deleted from your registration record and will not appear on your exam results.

There are 4 options available to you, depending on your course:

  1. Courses that have subjects/modules that are all compulsory (i.e. Core) - these are automatically added to you record once you have completed registration.
  2. Courses that have both optional and core subjects/modules - these are available to select online, click here for guidelines  
  3. Courses that have all optional subjects / modules - these are available to select online, click here for guidelines  
  4. Courses with no subjects/modules  - once you are registered - your record is completed. *
