Study abroad

‌All Engineering students following four year programs have the option, and are strongly encouraged, to study abroad in Europe under the programme. Dr Khurram Wadee, Study Abroad Coordinator for Engineering, gives recruitment presentations on the Study Abroad Program in Semesters 1 and 2 of your second year of study. All second year Engineering students will be alerted to these by email and may sign up to the program with their tutors consent following these presentations.

Briefly the program involves a credit rated language module, appropriate to your chosen study destination, taken in the first term of your third year. This is then followed by four plus months of study abroad during the second and third terms of your third year.

ECM3172 - Study Abroad Semester (60 credits)

The purpose of this module is to act as a 'wrapper' for all the work you will do whilst studying at one of our partner institutions. At least half of the credits for the module derive from an individual project you will undertake, supervised by a member of staff from the host institution. Any credits remaining must be made up by modules you can select from those offered by the host institution, and can include modules with elements of language and cultural study.
