It is possible to apply for restricted courses at other departments/faculties, but make sure that you meet the previous knowledge required. You will find the details in the course descriptions online. Please note that many restricted courses, specially at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences have limited capacity and therefore, qualified students nominated on an exchange agreement in a relevant subject area will be prioritized.

• You can take courses at more than one faculty, provided that you meet the required/recommended previous knowledge.
• The relevant faculty/department will consider whether you can be accepted to restricted courses during the application process, or if you can be granted admission later.
