course description
This is the description of a university course:
Asignaturas obligatorias propias de la especialidad, optativas comunes para fomentar la interdisciplinariedad y créditos de libre elección para que cada alumno pueda configurar su propio currículum.
My first thought was to translate "optativas" as "electives", but what does that make "libre elección"? I am also unsure of the meaning of "comunes" here.
Spanish from Spain for UK English. Thanks in advance for any insight into this!

...equivalent is but optativa is is a course you choose among the courses of your specialization (major), while courses de libre eleccion are ones you choose outside it. If you major in Literature the you might choose Shakespeare as one of your optativas, and a history course for a course de libre eleccion. In US de libre eleccion is an elective and we don't really have a word for the other.

Actually, I understood it the wrong way round..
How about:
common optional modules/courses
Computing Science Modules
Modules are the equivalent of courses or classes. They are the basic unit of study within a degree programme. Modules offered by the School of Computing Science in the current academic year are available by following the link below.
Information Systems students must take modules from Schools outside Computing Science to a value of 40 credits. The common optional modules are available by following the link below.

and
credits of elective modules/courses
(see links below)
