Taking HSTM units as part of your degree programme.

Each year, we teach around 1000 undergraduates on degree programmes across the University.

We accept most students without prerequisites and it is often possible to take a unit outside your level of study.

Optional units

Whatever you study, most faculties and schools in the University will allow you to take our course units as optional ‘free choice’ units.

HSTM units are designed to be accessible to all undergraduate students from all disciplines. They assume no prior experience. All HSTM units can be taken in 10 and 20 credit versions as appropriate to your programme of study. All units run for one semester.

If you are unsure whether you can enrol on HSTM units you should contact your School Curriculum and Programme Team. You may wish to contact your programme director if your programme does not currently allow you to take a HSTM unit.

If you are not able to register directly onto HSTM units, a number may still be available to study through the University College for Interdisciplinary Learning (UCIL), which allows you to study units from across the University with as much freedom as you want if it fits in your timetable.

Any questions? Please email our Curriculum & Programmes Team. Alternatively, contact the CHSTM Academic Lead for Undergraduate Teaching for assistance.
