Restricted Fields of Study:

Departmental Guidance on Course Restrictions 2012/13

 

For Law students: As you cannot take a full-time load of Law courses at Leeds (as the majority courses are taught full-year and places are very limited for exchange students), you should also select courses from other study areas in your dual program.

 

You are NOT RECOMMENDED to study only Electronic & Electircal Engineering or only Geography at Leeds as the majority of these courses are taught across the full year (Semesters 1&2) and you will have a very limited course choice.

 

Places on the following courses are in high demand and will fill up very quickly:

  • Business
  • English
  • History
  • Law
  • Politics
  • Sociology
  • Social Policy

 

Psychology has strict restrictions: students who take less than 50% of their credits in Psychology are limited to elective courses only (identified by "e").

Mechanical Engineering - not available
