ACADEMIC OFFERINGS 2019-20 UPDATED

England Programmes

This is not an exhaustive list of subjects and courses. We recommend you check each host university’s Study Abroad module page (linked at the end of this document) to see what is available to you as it changes year to year as well as the UCEAP module catalogue to see what students have taken in the past. There will be some courses that can cover your subject but based in a different department (e.g. women’s studies classes in sociology).

UK second-year courses are usually considered “equivalent” to the junior year at a U.S. university. This is important as some host universities have restrictions regarding the level of courses available to study abroad students. For more information on course levels, please review the Program Guide.

If you are considering referral to University College London it is essential that you read through the below guidance as there are a number of study abroad restrictions.

General subject area restrictions across all host institutions:

 Courses in science, math, and engineering may be limited for Fall-only options. Please check with the individual university if alternative assessment is available.  Most law courses at U.K. host universities are year-long courses only. If you are a semester student and you want to take law courses, you can do so at the University of Manchester, the University of London, Royal Holloway, the University of Sussex, and on a case-by-case basis at the University of Kent.  There are no courses in medicine open to UCEAP students in England.

Please read through to the end of the document for each university’s offerings and a subject guide, a table of contents is available on the next page.

Below is an overview of subject areas available at each host institution. This list may change as host university policies change. The information below is still subject to the restrictions found later in this guide. Therefore, we strongly recommend you review subject offerings for each university in conjunction with the restrictions for that university.

 Aeronautics  Bioengineering  Electrical Engineering  Chemical Engineering  Civil Engineering  Mechanical Engineering  Computer Science

Access to Year 1 and Year 2 courses depends on your study plan and is determined by the academic advisor at Imperial. Do not plan on taking Year 1 and 2 courses only.

King’s College London (KCL)

King’s offers placements for Fall, Spring, and Year-Long programmes.

Students should check the course options and requirements regularly as these change every year. Students taking courses beginning with 4 (introductory) in Music, Maths, and Sciences will need to have previously studied these areas. In order to take courses with a 5 prefix, students will need to have taken 3-4 classes in the subject previously, and for courses with a 6 prefix, they will have had to have taken 6-7.

If applying for courses in the departments of Biosciences, Chemistry, Informatics, Mathematics, Music or Physics, your transcript will be sent to the academic tutor for approval.

You can only take Music classes if you play an instrument and can read music fluently.

Courses are often impacted in the English Department, and international students may not get into popular courses such as Creative Writing even if they are pre-enrolled. You will need to have back-up course choices. Places on modules are not guaranteed for any student due to class size restrictions and are allocated on a first- come, first-served basis. Departments that are usually oversubscribed include English, War Studies, European and International Studies, Political Economy and History.

Courses outside of the home departments listed above are not covered by exchange, and so UCL cannot guarantee access to classes in these courses.
