How to select courses at the University of Glasgow

Where can I find specific information on courses?

• Please use the course catalogue to choose courses: Course Catalogue

• Important: The catalogue is updated in the summer, so course information and availability may change

• You can search the course catalogue by subject area, by semester of teaching, and by availability for visiting students

Which courses are available to Erasmus students?

• Read the information in this guide before selecting your courses to ensure you have a valid course load

• Use the course catalogue to check if a course is available for Erasmus students

• All Erasmus+ students must take the majority of their classes with the Glasgow subject/School that holds their partnership agreement. You should take 40 Glasgow Credits/ 20 ECTS with your main hosting School. You may request 20 Glasgow credits/10 ECTS from other subject areas. Please note availability for these courses may be limited, or there may be agreement restrictions

• Courses running for the full year are not usually suitable for semester-only students

• Courses normally run just once per academic year – i.e. if a course is listed as semester 1, it will not run in semester 2

Can you guarantee courses in advance for me?

• No. The University of Glasgow cannot guarantee courses in advance for incoming exchange students

• In cases of oversubscription degree-seeking students will be prioritised

• Beware of timetable clashes at enrolment. You may have to change your course selection on arrival

• Not all courses run every year, and some run alternate semesters

• You should be prepared to identify alternatives Which level of course should I pick?

• The University of Glasgow offers a four-year undergraduate degree programme: Level 1 (1xxx) = first year, Level 2 (2xxx) = second year, and so on.

• Level 3 is not always available to visiting students

• You can normally request courses from Levels 1 – 4 in your main subject; you will normally be restricted to Levels 1 or 2 in other subjects

• Level 5 (postgraduate) courses are not available to Erasmus students. Incoming students who are postgraduates at their home univerity will be restricted to Levels 3 and 4 at Glasgow. Specific exceptions to this are noted in the subject area information below.

How many credits do I have to take?

• You will take 60 Glasgow credits for 1 semester

• You will take 120 Glasgow credits for a full year – ideally this would be split equally across both semesters

• All students are required to take a full course load. Work that you are doing for your home university while studying at Glasgow does not count towards your Glasgow credit load

Page 3: Incoming Erasmus+ Course Selection Guide · • All Erasmus+ students must take the majority of their classes with the Glasgow subject/School that holds their partnership agreement

2 RC020320

• The credit ratio is 2 Glasgow credits to 1 ECTS. Courses which are worth 20 Glasgow credits are therefore worth 10 ECTS; courses which are worth 40 Glasgow credits are worth 20 ECTS.

Should I look at the pre-requisites in the course catalogue?

• No – these apply only to degree-seeking students

• You will submit a transcript with your application which will be reviewed to ensure you have the correct pre-requisites/background knowledge to take the classes you have requested

• All applications are reviewed on an individual basis

If my home university approves a class for me – do Glasgow have to approve this too?

• Yes. All your class requests must be approved by Glasgow Is Project Work available?

• We have indicated in this guide which subject areas support project work. Please see the information for the subject you are interested in.

• In order to request this, you must complete and upload a project work statement template form with your online application – please ask us for details.

• If project work is not offered within the terms of your exchange, you may be able to apply for a Traineeship. Check information for Trainees on our webpage at gla.ac.uk/study/visiting/studyabroadexchange/erasmustraineeship/

would be expected to take the partner course to the Semester 1 course in semester 2 i.e.

Animal Biology 3A and 3B.

• Students looking to take level 4 classes should be aware of the following: o Semester 1 will have 2 option blocks, consisting of:

▪ A compulsory Core course worth 20 credits (taking place on Mondays) ▪ An additional option worth 20 credits (taking place on Fridays) ▪ You would not be able to take a full course load in Biology and would

therefore need to take another 20 credits in a different subject area o Semester 2 will have 4 option blocks:

▪ Block A will take place on Mondays, Block B on Tuesdays, Block C on Thursdays, and Block D on Fridays

▪ All of these options will be worth 20 credits, and you could therefore take a full course load in Biology if eligible

• We therefore recommend semester 2 or full year study for Biology

• Students taking Level 4 courses should only take 1 course in each 5 week teaching block

as assessments are at the same time for all courses in the block.
