  • any students interested in studying British Politics, looking into topics around Globalisation , Culture and Development from a British perspective or studying British history .

  • any students in a Liberal Arts Degree Programme, wanting to take courses that are not offered at their home university but may still fulfil home requirements.

  • Science or Engineering students who want to take modules in another subject area. While students are required to take at least two modules in their degree programme, they are more than welcome to take classes outside of their field.
