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. 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.
