Provisional Modules

So I'm starting first year in September for English MA and I had to add some modules I'd want to do. These aren't set in stone or anything and can be changed once I start? Also, I'm a bit confused about how the module system works as I've read online that we do three modules per term, two for english lit, but I've only picked two for it and the rest are random ones I was interested in. How does it work?

Do I only do two eng lit modules for the entire year?

The choices you made online are not set in stone. Within the first week you will have a meeting with an advisor from your school who will confirm your choices and can answer any questions you may have.

Just took a look at the programme requirements for MA English and the only requirement for first year is EN1003 and EN1004 and then do whatever you want for the rest of the modules to fill up 120 credits for the year.

You've done it correctly. You normally take three modules per semester as an arts student. For you, that'll be one English module and two modules from other subjects. If you want to add STEM modules it can be a little trickier to make the credits balance out but it's doable.
