Year Abroad

Description

Overview: The Year Abroad gives you an exciting and structured opportunity to combine multicultural experiences and travel with your academic study. In your Year Abroad you will experience higher education and daily life in another culture and will be able to integrate this with the study of the main subject(s) of your degree course. You will develop resilience and flexibility to adapt to different teaching styles, ways of life and, in some cases, a different language. You will use your experiences to enrich your university studies and gain a wide range of cross- cultural skills that broaden your academic experience and enhance your employability. The particular combination of your degree course and choice of modules at the partner institution, together with the great variety of Year Abroad destinations, tailors the "curriculum" of the Year Abroad to suit you and add a new dimension to your degree! Method of assessment: Pass/Fail. To pass this module and be awarded 120 Kent credits, students must achieve a pass mark (documented by the transcript issued by the partner institution) in at least two-thirds of the credits of their agreed modules. Where, subsequent to any reassessment opportunities offered by the partner institution, a student fails to obtain two-thirds of the necessary credits, but achieves at least one-third, they will be required to undertake further assessment to achieve the remaining credits.
