This module is intended for students taking degrees with study in Europe, or study Abroad routes. Students will study a programme of approved modules at a University abroad.
Module aims
- To demonstrate the ability to study abroad for a year at a host university approved by the department of Classics & Ancient History;
- To experience and gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural diversity of the country where you undertake your year abroad;
- To travel abroad and achieve personal development in preparation for employment and global citizenship;
- To develop your spoken, written, and communications skills in the language of the country where you undertake your year abroad.
- To further your knowledge and understanding of the classical world by taking modules that are not available to study at Warwick;
- To provide the opportunity to study modules outside of Classics & Ancient History that might not normally be available to study at Warwick.
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.
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. It is subject to the approval of the year abroad tutor. 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 study abroad tutor. Students are expected to take the same total workload as that of a typical full time student at the host institution and be equivalent to 120 credits at Warwick.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
- Demonstrate ability to exercise significant judgement in a variety of situations that may be encountered on the year abroad and to act autonomously with minimal supervision
- Demonstrate effectiveness in interpersonal and intercultural competencies and communication
- Critically review and take responsibility for own learning and personal development by reflecting on the skills and qualities developed on the year abroad
- Improve foreign language skills [in exchanges where the language is not English]
