Students who enrol for any programme from whichever faculty can choose a course from other tracks as an elective provided that they meet the entry requirements for the course and they are allowed by their programme convener and course’s convener to do so.

The University of Cape Town supports interdisciplinary study. Subject to meeting the entry requirements for the course and approval by the programme and course convener, students are encouraged to select courses from outside their home programme. An important objective of this website is to provide a centralised source of information on these opportunities.  

While much care has been taken to ensure that all development offerings at UCT are included, there may be relevant courses which are not listed. In addition while every effort has been made to ensure that the website is accurate and up to date, it is the responsibility of the user to confirm the information from other UCT sources e.g. the faculty handbooks.
