balloon ‌‎Last updated 30 June 2016

We are all looking forward to meeting you at the end of September.

Before you arrive

Make sure that you have enrolled: see the online enrolment guide.

If you have asked for your enrolment pack to be sent to your Department, you can collect it from the CECS Office at the start of term.

CECS Module choices

Students taking the MA in Eighteenth Century Studies and the MA in Literature of the Romantic Period: if you have not already done so, please email your choices now to the CECS administrator cecs1@york.ac.uk We need to have a second choice for each module in case your preferred module is not running. There is a list of designated modules, but you are also allowed to choose a module outside this list. See English, History and History of Art (under module tab) websites.

To view the timetable for each module, log on to the University's Timetabling Gateway and use the Search Timetables facility to select individual modules. (Modules you’re already enrolled for will appear if you select View My Timetable.)

Teaching

Teaching starts in Week 2, but History and History of art options may have a briefing meeting in week 1.
