As part of the assessment of your application, we will assess your previous academic study to advise on the modules where you meet the module pre-requisites and co-requisites. We will contact you post-application to advise you on the modules available to you and ask you to make your choices only from the modules we have assessed as suitable for you.
You should be aware of the following when making your module choices:

All the modules you take will be assessed, and we employ a variety of forms of assessment. These include practical exercises, written reports, presentations, live demonstrations and in-person closed examinations. The Department of Computer Science does not offer alternative assessment options, and it is your responsibility to ensure you can be on campus in York for the revision and assessment weeks where your in-person presence is required.
Some of the modules we offer to undergraduate students are stage 4, Masters level modules. If you are interested in taking a Masters level module (modules with a course code ending in M) we advise you to verify with your home institution whether you are permitted to take a Masters level module as an undergraduate student.
