DCU Erasmus & Exchange: Which modules can you choose?

If you choose DCU to study for a semester or a year, you can select accredited modules from our five study streams, which broadly match our five faculties. 

Choose one stream below -- it should be the stream that most closely matches your major. You can then download a list of module choices for that stream. Make sure you review the module choice checklist below and the more detailed guidelines.

The maximum ECTS (credits) for one semester is 30 ECTS (credits), this cannot be exceeded.
STUDENTS MUST READ MODULE SPECIFICATIONS HERE FOR ALL MODULES/COURSES AND ENSURE THEY HAVE PREREQUISITES OR CO-REQUISITES - Please check with your home university

Module choice checklist

• The modules you select should total less than 30 ECTS credits for each semester. Always check the requirement with your home university.
• Check if the modules you choose have prerequisites/corequisites, which is especially likely with science and engineering modules.  
• Ensure you have at least eight to 10 modules pre-approved by your home university before you come to DCU as modules are subject to availability 
• Remember that modules can change up to the first week of each semester, so check the available choices again before you arrive as there may be new modules listed. Thereafter, you must ensure your classes are correct on Loop - this is your responsibility.

Changing your module choice

You may change your module choices when you arrive at DCU. Further information will be provided as part of your orientation.
