Module Description:
This module descriptor relates to the Semester of Study Abroad only
Module aim
The aim of this module is to enable the student to:
• Study a range of generally congruent subjects in a different third level institution
• Experience how other institutions of learning facilitate and organise the student learning process
• Experience at first hand alternative social, cultural political and education systems
Although not precluded, it is unlikely that students will be in a position to study in a language other than English.
This will vary in each case and will depend on the modules taken by each student during the Semester of Study abroad.
Module 'Modus Operandi'
Students will be required to agree with the programme director modules to be taken in an international university, prior to beginning their studies abroad. Students are required to take modules that will constitute 30 ECT credits. Failure to successfully complete the modules comprising 30 ECTS credits will be treated in the same way as referral in modules in other part of the degree and may result in the student being unable to progress to the final year of the degree. There will be a degree of flexibility in the subject matter being studied by a student but, in general, students will be expected to take modules from business programmes at NQAI Level 8 or equivalent. Students will be encouraged to take up to 10 credits in languages and/or cultural/history modules or modules that are not currently available to the student at the University.
This will largely depend on the learning and teaching system in the international university visited as part of the module.
