In addition to the options available here, students are welcome to choose from a selection of modules offered by the Screen Studies Group Option Sharing Programme. These are listed but lists are not always up to date so it might be worth getting in touch with the institution you are interested in studying with directly. In order to register for these modules, you must get in touch with the teaching department to see if there is space on the module and then complete the registration steps with their institution. You must fill out an Intercollegiate Study Form from the receiving institution and send to us so it can be signed and recorded – study at some institutions will require Faculty approval. You should ensure that you act quickly to secure a place and assure access to the other institution's libraries and course web pages. Then, introduce yourself to the convenor and ask about any conventions specific to the college, and what their expectations for the students are (some places, for example, have firm policies on citation methods that are unique). In all make sure you enrol early.
