All courses are designed to give students an integrated and progressive degree programme. Some students choose particular subject areas in which they wish to specialise, whereas others prefer to sample the wide range of different courses available. In addition to the courses listed below, conversation classes in German, satellite television and the full resources of UCL Language Centre are offered to all our students.
Most courses are half-units.
Different conditions apply to combined-studies students doing Russian or an East European language ab initio . These are outlined in the description of the particular degrees.

The extended essay is designed to foster a broad range of skills, including investigative research, detailed analysis and independence of thought. On their return from Germany or Austria, students choose from a broad selection of optional courses, as well as perfecting their technical skills in German.
