Academic Offerings of English Universities 2018

Partially updated September 2018 To Overview Table Page 1

This is not an exhaustive list of subjects and courses. We recommend you check each host university’s Study Abroad module

page 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.

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.

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.

Psychology: Courses in the Department of Psychology are open to YEAR-LONG students only, and applicants would take either the full suite of Level 4 (first year) or

Level 5 (second year) modules, depending on their prior academic experience. The Department of Psychology reviews an applicant’s transcript to determine the

appropriate level. In general, however, students with little or no psychology background would take Level 4 modules, and students with at least one full year of

psychology on their transcript would take Level 5 modules. At Level 4, students must take 8 compulsory psychology modules, and at Level 5, they must take 6

compulsory psychology modules, with a free choice of two modules from other faculties and departments across KCL.

University College London (UCL) (Fall, Spring, Year-Long) It is imperative that you check when a course/field of study is available as not all fields of study are offered every term. You can find more detailed information on

the course offerings on the UCL Study Abroad Programme page.

Architecture courses are only Year-long. Planning classes are offered in either semester.

When studying at UCL you must choose your base department from one of the departments listed below. You must take 50% of your courses (usually 2 per

semester) in your base department. No other departments are available to be a base department, but you are able to take the remaining 50% of your courses in

other departments. For all departments except BASC, you must have been studying the subject previously.

Base Department Options: BASC Anthropology Archaeology Economics (GAP 3.5)

If you have not selected Economics as your base department and you have a GPA below 3.5, then you can only take the Economics classes listed on the Elective
