Hiya, thanks for your question.

The system for classes or modules you take at Kingston will vary between courses, but I believe for the majority of courses, in your first year, all modules are compulsory and so you don't choose any modules yourself.

In the second and third year however I think you choose the majority of your classes. What usually happens on my course is the lecturers give you a booklet which describes what each module is about and then you complete a form of what modules you would like to do.

The University then enrolls you automatically online onto those courses so you can access all the information and powerpoint presentations that the lecturer will put online. 

You can read more about the types of modules available on your course by looking at the module descriptions on the course page of the website for example for my course dance and drama these are the module choices (scroll to the bottom):

Hope that helps you, if you have any more questions just ask :)
