Year 1 Academic year: 2023/24, Starting in: September

Notes:
Please Note:

In Year 1, students must study 80 credits.
In Year 2, students must study 100 credits.

Across the 2 years of study, students must take the following courses:

a) The 2 programme compulsory core courses (20 credits):

- Exclusion and Inequality
- Inclusive Society

b) EFI Shared Core courses (40 credits):

- Interdisciplinary Futures
- Either Insights Through Data [OR] Text Remix
- Ethical Data Futures
- Either Representing Data [OR] Building Near Futures

c) A total of 60 credits of electives, which must include a minimum of 20 credits of elective courses from the 'Data, Inequality and Society (fusion on-site) - Programme Optional Course Collection'.

The programme compulsory courses and the shared core courses introduce students to skills and concepts that will assist them when studying elective courses and the final project. Therefore, we encourage students to take the two programme compulsory courses, along with as many of the EFI shared core courses as possible, during year one.

Please aim to ensure that your credits are equally balanced across both semesters in a year. This is to ensure student workload is balanced.
