MA3J5-120 Study Year Abroad
Introductory description
Students will study Warwick year 3 equivalent modules in Mathematics during a full academic year at a university abroad.
Module aims
Develop mathematical skills at a university abroad equivalent to a 3rd year MMath at Warwick. In addition, the module provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate the ability to study abroad for a year at a host University approved by the department, to experience and gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural environment of the host city and country, to improve foreign language skills, to travel abroad and achieve personal development in preparation for employment and global citizenship.
Outline syllabus
This is an indicative module outline only to give an indication of the sort of topics that may be covered. Actual sessions held may differ.
This will roughly be equivalent to a 3rd year of an MMath at Warwick.
Details vary depending on the approved courses and availability at host institution(s). The workload must be a minimum of 1200 hours to maintain equivalence with that expected for a 120 credit module.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
- Acquisition of mathematical skills equivalent to a 3rd year MMath student at Warwick
- Development of qualities and transferable skills necessary for working or studying in another country and in a different academic system
- Improvement of oral and written foreign language skills
- Enhanced understanding of different cultures, norms, customs and traditions
International
The student will study abroad.
Subject specific skills
These depend on the individual student.
Transferable skills
Ability to work and study in a different country and culture. Improved language skills where the delivery is not in English Improved communication skills particularly where the language of delivery is not English Improved understanding of cultures and countries outside of the UK
