Overview

Module aims and purpose

The aim of this module is to enable students to study for a term or semester in a university outside the UK.

Module learning outcomes

These will be in accordance with the host institution.

Module content

Students will choose one from a range of partner universities; they will normally study for one semester or for one term if this is appropriate and depending upon provision by the host university.

Structure

Teaching and learning methods

Arrangements in accordance with the standard arrangements in the host university.

Students normally take this module during Semester 2, but with permission may take it in Semester 1.

Study hours

This module is a placement or study abroad module and therefore the teaching and learning activities will predominantly, or entirely, take place away from the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼. Your host organisation will normally advise you of the associated hours of your placement or year abroad. If the module includes any in-person activities at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼, these will be confirmed to you before the start of the module.

Please note the independent study hours above are notional numbers of hours; each student will approach studying in different ways. We would advise you to reflect on your learning and the number of hours you are allocating to these tasks.

Semester 1 The hours in this column may include hours during the Christmas holiday period.

Semester 2 The hours in this column may include hours during the Easter holiday period.

Summer The hours in this column will take place during the summer holidays and may be at the start and/or end of the module.

Assessment

Requirements for a pass

Students will bring the marks back with them from their host university. After translation in accordance with the agreed formula the marks will be the basis for assessment of modules which would have been taken in the term in question at Reading and incorporated into their record.

Summative assessment

Penalties for late submission of summative assessment

As determined by the host institution.

Formative assessment

Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.

Assessment in accordance with the standard arrangements of the host university.
