What do the Course Unit Codes Mean?
- The first four letters of the code identify the subject discipline
e.g GERM10221 = this course unit is offered by German Studies
- The FIRST of the five digits tells you the level of a course unit. (1 = introductory, 2 = intermediate, 3 = advanced).
e.g. GERM10221= this course unit is at an introductory level
- Whether course units run in Semester 1 or Semester 2 is indicated by the LAST digit of the five-digit number which is part of every course unit code: '1' indicates the course is on offer in Semester 1, a '2' is reserved for courses taught in Semester 2, and a '0' says that the course unit extends over the entire academic session (Semester 1 and Semester 2)
e.g. GERM10221= this course unit is offered in Semester 1 only.
Once you have settled into your course units here in Manchester, contact your Erasmus Coordinator if you need to update your ECTS Learning Agreement form. Please note that Erasmus Coordinators generally do not have originals of Learning Agreements, which you will need to obtain from the Study Abroad Unit first.
