Broad Information on cross-faculty modules is available at: Curriculum http://www.tcd.ie/Broad_Curriculum/cfc/index.php
You are expected to take a module run by another Department in the School of Natural Sciences or another School. Lectures for these modules are timed to coincide with free slots in your timetable.
Most modules are scheduled to run at lunchtimes so that space is available in our timetable to allow you to take one of these modules.
