One-year (or optional) course
I think "troncal" also implies that a course is part of the CORE programme. "Asignatura anual" could be literally translated as a "one-year course". If you're sure it is optional, then "optional course" would also be an option!

anual.
I think it\'s the second meaning of \"anual\" (see below) that\'s being used here. Therefore, I\'d say \"one-year\" is more suitable than \"annual\" in English.
(Del lat. annuālis).
1. adj. Que sucede o se repite cada año.
2. adj. Que dura un año.

I think I\'d forget the \"optional idea\" unless you have other evidence in the text.
Asignatura anual [year-long subject]: This lasts from September to June. Exams take place in February and June/July. If you are coming for the whole academic year you can choose this subject, but if you are only coming from February to June, you will have to take into account that if you choose it, you will not have attended even half the course of this subject and therefore it will be more difficult to pass the final exams.

\"Year-long course\" would be another alternative.
