Description	The aim of the module is to provide an opportunity for students to study at an international university of good repute for a semester or full academic year. Modules are chosen to follow, as closely as possible, programme on which the student is enrolled at UoB. It is expected that each student will plan the modules/courses to be taken at the host institution in consultation with the appropriate person at both the University of Birmingham and the host institution. The appropriateness of the host institution to the student and vice versa will also inform the choice of host institution. A programme of study is then agreed with the appropriate person at the University of Birmingham, normally the Study Abroad Tutor.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Apply and demonstrate knowledge in relevant subjects. Adjust to a new culture. Demonstrate the ability to study relevant topics at an international institution and appreciate the difference between study in the UK and overseas. Improve the use of a foreign language in a non-English speaking country, where applicable.
