Description	The aim of this module is to provide an opportunity for students to study at an international university of good repute for a year. Modules are chosen to follow, as closely as possible, the relevant Year 2/3 Birmingham modules. 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.
