Exclusions
Description Students will follow modules in the host University. The number of modules will be established in consultation with the School of Physics and Astronomy and the subjects will be agreed by the School.

The selection of modules at the host University that form the content of the LH Year Abroad (Physics) A and LH Year Abroad (Physics) B modules should cover, in broad terms, the content of the Year 3 of the relevant non-International Study MSci programme, and so ensure that the necessary pre-requisites for Year 4 study are satisfied.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Have developed their Physics/Mathematics skills and their foreign language skills by studying approved Physics and Mathematics modules in a foreign language at a host University in the country of their choice;
  • Demonstrate their Physics/Mathematics skills in Physics and Mathematics modules taught and examined in a foreign language at the host University as part of a study programme approved by the School of Physics & Astronomy;
  • Write effectively in a foreign language in both technical and non-technical contexts;
  • Converse effectively in a foreign language in both technical and non-technical contexts.
Assessment
Assessment Methods & Exceptions Assessed jointly with 03 26023:
Assessment as agreed by the School of Physics & Astronomy and the host University.

The School of University has established, in consultation with other British Universities, a sound method of converting marks and/or grades awarded by the European/International University to comparable marks within the British system. The degree classification for the MSci programme is calculated from marks obtained in the final three years of study in the ratio 1:2:2 for Y2:Y3:Y4.
