How to select your modules
Log into RISIS. On the dashboard you will see the 'What to do next' option. Please select the 'module selection' button which will show the modules available to select on your programme. Follow the instructions and ensure you review and submit your module selections.
For all returning students who will be taking modules in the 2025/2026 academic year, the deadline for online module selection is Thursday 1 May 2025 at 23:59 hrs (UK time).
What to do if you have missed the deadline
If you have not been able to complete your module selection on RISIS by the given deadline, please follow these instructions.
Compulsory modules for your programme of study will be assigned to your student record automatically. You will need to select your optional modules and let us know your choices at moduleselection@reading.ac.uk as soon as possible. Full modules are added to the list below.
Please select your modules in a timely way, to avoid: timetable clashes (where timetables have already been scheduled); missing any lectures, practical's or assessments (if the Semester has started); missing out on places for modules which have restricted numbers.
Follow these steps If you have not yet made your selection, or need to make changes:
- Check to see what optional modules are available on your programme of study. You can find the list of optional modules by logging into RISIS and selecting the 'information' tab, then 'Programmes and Modules' and 'Your module selection information'
- View information about modules: Module Descriptions.
- Full modules, with restricted numbers are added to the list below.
- Select your optional modules from the list on RISIS. Please make sure that you follow any of the pre or co-requisites for any modules you have selected, as well as your specific programme requirements: Programme Specifications.
- You can speak to your Programme Director or Academic Tutor for guidance on which modules to choose.
- Check your timetable to make sure there are no timetable clashes for your selected modules.
- Email moduleselection@reading.ac.uk using your university email account OR respond to any email you have received from the module selection team. Please include the module codes and titles of modules you have selected.
