You will see that for some modules there is information given under 'pre-requisites' or 'barred combinations' boxes which state who can or cannot take that module, so please ensure you have a look through these before deciding upon your choice of modules.

If you are planning to study abroad for a semester in your second year we recommend that you take the elective module ENL-10043 Intercultural Communication.

International students whose first language is not English or who have been educated in a language other than English will be pre-allocated an English language module (ENL-) as one of their elective module choices. You must not change your ENL- module when you register your electives choices online.

On arrival at Keele, part of the Induction Week will include an introduction to the English Language Unit and a brief language assessment to help us know if academic language support would be helpful, right from the start. Based on the results and in consultation with English Language Unit staff, your ENL- elective enrolment may be confirmed, you may be allocated a different English Language module or you may be advised that you can replace it with another elective module of your choice.
