BDS Optional Module selection

This form is for MSc Behavioural & Data Science students who are entering the course in 2026/27.

Due to limited capacity on certain modules, and complexities of timetabling a large number of optional modules, we require students to indicate their optional module preferences in advance.

Please complete this form to let us know your choices. This form is now open and will close on at the end of week 2 (16.10.26).

The provisional timetable for 26/27 can be seen hereLink opens in a new window, timetables are yet to be finalised this means that modules shown may be subject to change. You will need to check that your options do not clash with any core lectures.

When selecting your optional modules, please consider:

  • Timing of lectures - you can view the timetable in the link above. Where there are multiple seminars or practical sessions, we will do our best to accommodate you in appropriate groups, but the level of optionality means that we need choices early to work to accommodate these.
  • Timing of assessments and workload – Please consider your workload when considering your options. So that you can consider the timing of assessments and the implications this will have on your workload, please see the Psychology BDS Assessed work deadlinesLink opens in a new window

Requests will be processed in the order they are received. While we aim to accommodate students’ preferred choices wherever possible, capacity and scheduling constraints mean we may not be able to guarantee a place on all selections.

Please indicate below whether this is your first submission or a resubmission of this form.

  • You are expected to have researched your choices as fully as possible before submitting this form. However, we understand that changes may be necessary in some cases.
  • Resubmissions will replace any earlier submissions, so please complete the form in full again.

Before selecting your options, please read this check list carefully:

  1. Students must choose 5 optional modules options in total with a minimum of 2 from each list, i.e. this can be made up of 2 or 3 options from the Psychology/Behavioural Science Module list (30-45 CATS) and either 2 or 3 options from the Computer Science Module list (30-45 Credits)
  2. If the optional module choice you have chosen clashes with core modules, you will usually not be able to take this. Please check the provisional timetable provided (linked at the top of this page).
  3. If any of your optional modules are not available due to limited spaces, we will get in touch with you about alternatives. More information is available on BDS Module & Module Choices webpages. You can then also contact the Programmes Team at psychologypg@warwick.ac.uk
