im not very sure abt this, as i dont intend to take any minor.
what i can tell u though is for BA English & Lit Year 1 Semester 1 students, the computer system will give u limited modules to choose from on a first come first serve basis. u can take max 30 CU in your first semester (20 credits related to your major and 10 credits from Ucore). this is considered extremely heavy study load though.
u need a total of 130 CU (credit units) to graduate with a basic degree & 170 CU for a honors degree.
i think all minors are at least level 2 or 3 modules, so u wont be touching them in your 1st year of studies. someone pls correct me on this part if im wrong.
Thanks very much juventusfc27.
Putting the consideration to do the Minor aside. Let’s just focus on doing a basic degree in BAEL.
Calle me kiasu or whatever, but I did some planning like which module to take for according to year, semester, term. Maybe this image would help.

Did you plan out the same or you’re just choosing the modules as you go along? It seems there might be changes, so I was thinking if there is any good in planning ahead.
Some of the modules I notice ends in 2022 which might be a bit of a problem for me as I might take about 4.5-5 years to complete if I start in July 2019.
Also, do you mind sharing what made you decide on this course? Like you say most ppl think not much prospect other than English teacher or journalist.
I’m also in my mid 30’s and will be my first degree. Been considering long and hard to do a degree since 10 years ago but couldn’t afford it. Now a bit more financially stable that’s why considering. A bit hesitant to take up a degree at this age so it would be nice to hear from those in the same position.
