In SELCS we admit students in both September and January in three different categories:

鈥� 听听SELCS as first or only named home department:
Students must take 50% of their modules in SELCS. The other 50% may be taken in SELCS or in other MyAV范 department(s),听subject to space and prerequisites.听IMPORTANT: SELCS does not manage module registration outside of this department and cannot guarantee places in other MyAV范 departments.
鈥� 听听SELCS as second named home department:
You must take 50% of your modules in your first named department at MyAV范 and 25% within SELCS. The remaining 25%听may be taken in other MyAV范 departments (including your first named department and SELCS), subject to space, prerequisites and any local regulations of your first named department.
鈥� 听听Affiliate students from other MyAV范 departments:
We welcome students from a wide variety of departments and disciplines across MyAV范 to SELCS modules, subject to space and any prerequisites. Information on how to request modules can be found听here.

Programme of study

While at MyAV范, Affiliates follow a programme of study to the same credit level as regular MyAV范 students. This comprises:

  • up to 120 MyAV范 credits (60 ECTS / 32 US credits) in an听academic year, or
  • up to 60 MyAV范 credits (30 ECTS / 16 US credits) if studying at MyAV范 for one semester

You may well find that during your studies at MyAV范 you are expected to undertake significantly more individual and independent study outside of classes than you are used to. As a result, you may also have fewer classes per week than at your home institution.
