Module Aims

To enable students to gain cultural and educational experience through studying at an overseas partner institution.

Content Summary

An individual study abroad programme will be negotiated for enrolled students. In this, as far as possible, the study content of the programme will match the nature and objectives of the particular award, but will be relevant. The study abroad programme will involve pursing courses at the partner institution that will complement and enhance studies pursued at University of South Wales. The courses will be pursued in the same manner as that undertaken by indigenous students of the host institution. Study abroad students will be required to complete and submit a journal of their experience.
