• Biochemical Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electronic & Electrical Engineering
• School of Management
• Mechanical Engineering 
• Chemistry
• Earth Sciences
• Natural Sciences 
• Statistical Science 
• Biological Sciences 
• Anthropology
• Economics
• History
• Social Sciences
• Arts & Sciences (BASc)

               *Computer Science and Psychology are not available departments for UQ students.

Elective outside admitted department:
You may choose up to 50% as electives from other departments (outside your admitted department), including departments not listed above, subject to availability, course tutor approval and meeting any prerequisites. Be aware that:

• students who are admitted through a department will be given priority for course registrations over those admitted through other departments.
• there may be additional requirements for different departments.
• Computer Science modules are not available to UQ students even as electives.
• Some Psychology modules may be available as electives to applicants once they have enrolled at UCL, but this will be subject to availability as the Psychology department has to prioritize students admitted directly into their department. Therefore, there is no guarantee that you will be able to enrol in Psychology modules.

Department of Economics:

Students who have completed or will complete the following courses prior to their exchange at UCL in Economics will be eligible to apply.  Approved course equivalencies:

Intermediate Calculus (UCL ECON0010)
•    MATH1051/MATH1071 + MATH1052/MATH1072
•    MATH1051/MATH1071
•    ECON1050
•    ECON2050
Intermediate Microeconomics (UCL ECON0013)
•    ECON2010
•    ECON2030 (has prerequisite ECON2010)
Intermediate Macroeconomics (UCL ECON0016)
•    ECON2020
•    ECON2040
Introductory Statistics (UCL ECON0005) or Introductory Econmetrics (UCL ECON0004), as offered ECON1310 or ECON2300

Students completed the above mentioned prerequisites will have access to all Second and Final Year modules listed here. However, students who have not completed the intermediate level Macro/Microeconomics, you will be potentially considered but would be restricted to this list of First and Second Year modules.

Department of Biological Sciences: 

• Biomedical Science students are recommended to choose 'Biological Sciences' as an admittance department depending on courses that will match for credit.
• Students who have completed Physics or Chemistry courses at UQ will be considered stronger applicants for Biomedical Sciences courses at UCL. However, Biomedical Science courses are not within an admitting department and are considered electives, which means these courses are not guaranteed. 
• Please avoid trying to gain Compulsory Credit (specific credit) in Biomedincal Science on Exchange as you must have 80% course matching and faculty will most likely not award credit (i.e. BIOM3402).
• Students with a provisional in Medicine considering to go on Exchange should  plan very carefully and avoid Compulsory Credits on Exchange due to a risk of delaying graduation and loose provisional placement. 

UCL Application

• UCL pays particular attention to personal statements, taking note of any relevant experience or interest’s applications have declared.
