You will be automatically pre-registered for all mandatory and required modules. During the registration period, you must choose optional modules to meet your programme’s credit requirements.

2. Where do I register?

Module registration takes place online via the Module Registration page in My Liverpool. You don’t need to be on campus to complete module registration. 

To access the Module Registration page:

3. How many modules should I choose?

As an undergraduate student, you need to complete 120 credits each year. Typically, you should take 60 credits per semester. 

If your programme has 30 credits year-long modules, your remaining credits should be split equally across the 2 semesters.   

 4. What are mandatory, required, and optional modules?

 5. I am a Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary or Health Science student– do I need to register? 

No, if you are studying one of these programmes, you do not need to select modules online. 

 6. Where can I find more information about a module?

We’d encourage you to thoroughly research your choices before module registration opens on Wednesday, 6 May 2026; please get in touch with your school or department for more information about the optional modules available to you.   
 

Each module title will also include a link to its module details page during the registration period, showing: 

• Title, semester, credit value, and FHEQ level 

• Module leader and teaching staff 

• Assessment type 

• Module aims, learning outcomes, recommended texts 

Please review this before you select your modules. 

 7. What if a module is full or closed?

In response to student feedback and following consultation with recent Guild Officers, more than 80% of module caps have now been lifted. We hope this will reduce anxiety around the module registration process and allow more of you to secure your preferred options. 

There are a small number of modules that still require a number cap. If this applies in your subject area, your school will make this clear to you in advance of module registration opening so you have plenty of time to consider both your preferred options, as well as your potential reserve choices. 

If a module is full, you’ll need to select an alternative module to reach 120 credits. You can add full modules to your reserve list and rank all selections (secured + reserve). 

Your reserve list helps your School reallocate spaces on full modules if they become available. 

8. Can I change the modules I’ve selected? 

Changes are possible during the registration period (6–13 May 2026). 

Once the registration period has closed, you will need to contact your School Student Experience Office to discuss any further changes. It’s important to bear in mind if you delete a module, there is no guarantee you will be able to re-select that module, if it fills up in the meantime.  

9. Why are some modules number-capped?

In response to student feedback and following consultation with your recent Guild Officers, many module caps have now been lifted to allow more of you to secure your preferred options. 

There are, however, a small number of modules within certain subjects where caps remain because of limits on staff capacity or the requirement for specific teaching space and equipment. Your school will let you know about these modules in advance. 

10. Some modulesI was expecting to see are missing – what should I do? 

In this instance, please contact your School Student Experience Office who will be able to help. 

11. What if I register for too many or too few credits?

The system prevents you from exceeding 120 credits but will allow you to register for less than 120 credits, for example if you want to seek further academic advice before making a choice. 

You are responsible for registering the correct total and balance of modules (usually 60 per semester). 

If you register for fewer than 120 credits, you’ll need to the registration page return during the registration period to complete your selection. 

 12. Who do I contact for help?

If you’re experiencing a technical issue, get in touch with the team in IT Services: servicedesk.liverpool.ac.uk. 

If you have a question and can’t find the answer on the FAQs page, your School will be able to help.
