Module aims

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.

For the study abroad component the syllabus will be arranged on an individual basis in
consultation with the department and the host institution. It will normally comprise a combination of taught courses and any language training required. Modules selected must not duplicate those taken by students when they are at Warwick but must be chosen to provide adequate preparation for modules students will take when they return to Warwick. Any amendments to the approved study plan must be approved by the intercalated year coordinator. Students are expected to take the same total workload as that of a typical full time student at the host institution.
For the work placement component a description of the work placement should be provided by
the work placement provider. The syllabus will comprise undertaking the approved work placement and maintaining a regular summary whilst on placement.
The syllabus of both components is subject to the approval of the intercalated year coordinator.
