General subject area restrictions across all host institutions:

Transcription

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. Updated August 2016 To Overview Table Page 1

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.
