Spring 2020 timetables

Students can view availability of the main teaching rooms to allow them to use these rooms as study areas. This is a not live update of room availability and if students are asked to vacate the room due to a booking they should do so, even if the availability shows the room as being free.

Timetable coding system

Module code

We will use the module code RELU911.L as an example.

  • The first three letters represent the subject area - REL is Religion.
  • The fourth letter represents the level of study - U is undergraduate. P is for postgraduate.
  • Sometimes there will be a fifth letter. This represents location - S for Singapore, M for Muscat, H for Hong Kong.

Type of class

  • The letter after the full stop represents the type of class. A full list is below. Activities that must be attended by all students on the module can be identified by #. If there is no # by the activity this means that are multiple classes that the student must choose one to attend.
