Pre-requisites

At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:

• Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
• Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
• Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
• Masters-level units require three years of study in the discipline.
