Modules

*Programme modules listed are illustrative only and subject to change.


UK degrees are three years long whereas in China they are four, therefore we do accept students with certain qualifications directly into Year Two, which is the start of the main academic programme. Most students, however, enter into Year One, which provides you with a range of interesting modules, language classes and core skills for your degree.

Studying the Internet of Things programme at XJTLU provides me with a unique opportunity to get educated and trained as both an engineer and entrepreneur in China. I am able to study at university and work in industry at the same time.
