Free Choice Modules
At Lancaster students take three subjects in Year 1. We believe in giving students the option to either broaden their study with another subject or to specialise in their chosen subject.
​
You could choose a subject which complements English Literature or Creative Writing, or try something completely new!
​
For English Literature majors we do highly recommend that students opt to take
ENGL101 World Literature as one of their optional modules.
Here are some examples of other free choice modules our students have taken:
LICA140 Introduction to Design

How to enrol
Students will be invited to take part in online pre-enrolment before they arrive at University. Students will be able to access the student portal and see the range of modules which are available to them and any prerequisites.
Students can choose to pre-enrol online or they may wait until they arrive at the University to enrol during welcome week. Further information will be supplied regarding this process.
