Brookes’ ‘Speak’
You are a Double Honours student doing Two Fields
Modules are programmes of study. Modules are worth credits - usually one, sometimes two
You need 8 basic credits in your first year to progress.
Your first year is known as Stage I and your 2nd, 3rd and final years are known as Stage II
Compulsory modules are ‘must haves’ and must be taken to progress to Stage II.
Tutors tend to talk module numbers, students talk module names
