Fully immerse yourself in British culture by attending a host university in England and taking classes in your major. You will attend classes and live alongside

local UK and international students. Research is commonly built into higher level courses, and independent study is possible. Internships may be possible

for year-long students, but must be arranged independently. Semester students may be able to intern but only in the rare situation that they have a guaran-

teed placement arranged months in advance; please contact the EAP advisor.

guidance on what historically has been available. We recommend you check each host university’s study abroad course page to see

what is available to you as it can change from year to year. Keep in mind that there may be courses that cover a particular subject

area but are based in a different department (e.g. Women’s Studies courses in Sociology). It is essential that you heed any

restrictions outlined below. For University College London and King’s College London in particular, there are several restrictions in

the subject areas available to study abroad students.

UK second-year courses are usually considered “equivalent” to the junior year at a US university. This is important as some host

universities have restrictions regarding the level of courses available to study abroad students.

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.

Any questions about the guide or its material should be directed to [email protected]

Please read through to the end of the document for a subject guide and each university’s offerings and unit conversions.

King’s College London (KCL)

King’s offers placements for Fall, Spring, and Year-Long programmes. Module availability can change from year to year, and the list of available classes is

usually not available until the summer, often immediately before departure for fall and year students. Because of this, students who need to take specific

courses abroad to fulfil strict major or minor requirements should consider an alternative host institution.

King’s College London offers a very limited number of introductory classes, and it admits students only in courses/departments that have substantial

course availability. Students can wish to study only in the subject areas in which they already have a strong academic background.

The table above lists suitable majors at King’s College London, and KCL can offer students access to classes in that area. If students want to study

subjects outside of their major, they must already have taken a minimum of 3-4 classes in that subject area to have access to 2

-year classes at KCL; or

5-6 classes to have access to 3

-year classes at KCL. These restrictions cannot be waived.

Places on modules are not guaranteed for any student due to class size restrictions and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Module registration is competitive across all departments except Economics, Business, Philosophy, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Law, and Biosciences.

The following majors are not suitable for application to KCL, either because they are not taught, don’t have sufficient capacity, or are unavailable to study

abroad students.

• Computer Science

• Psychology (unless coming for the year)

• Neuroscience / cognitive science

• Media studies

• Mechanical Engineering

• Creative Writing

• Film Studies

• Communications

• Art & Art History

• Health & Society

To Overview Table Page 12

Additional caveats and restrictions

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

Women’s/Gender Studies – no dedicated department or course, but classes can be taken in English, Comparative Literature, French, etc. Students will

need to meet eligibility criteria of those departments.

Psychology - Students wishing to take modules within the Department of Psychology must be FULL-YEAR students and take either the full suite of Level 4

(first year) or Level 5 (second year) modules, dependent on prior academic experience. A member of academic staff within Psychology will review your

university transcript to assess which level you should study at but typically, students with little or no Psychology background will take Level 4 modules, and

students with at least one full year of Psychology on their transcript will take Level 5. At Level 4, students must take 8 compulsory Psychology modules,

and at Level 5, must take 6 compulsory Psychology modules, with a free choice of two modules from other faculties and departments across King’s.

Biosciences - With a few exceptions, course availability is very good in the biosciences. However, courses may take place across a whole day; do not chose

multiple courses on the same day.

of classes in your home department, you can take classes in a wide range of subjects listed in the study abroad catalog. All courses are subject to availability.

Caveats and restrictions

If you wish to take classes in Economics but it is not your home department, and you have a GPA below 3.5, you can only take Economics classes listed in the Elective

Module Portfolio. If you're interested in Year 2 or 3 Economics courses, the economics department advises you to apply to the department.

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

courses. If you want to take classes outside of your home department, you will need to approach the department you want to take classes in to discuss availability. The

Admissions Tutor will decide this on a case-by-case basis.
