The Year Abroad (Languages) provides an opportunity for students to extend their understanding of their degree subject area by undertaking a period of study abroad at a host institution. Students will study in French, Spanish, Italian or German, depending on modules they have selected as part of their Law with Modern Languages degree, enhancing their proficiency in that language.

The module will also raise students' awareness of cross-cultural and transnational issues as they apply both within and outside their degree subject. It is expected that the module, as part of their degree course, will enhance students' experience and future employability.

Each student will spend an extended period studying at a host institution overseas. During the module students will pursue studies relevant to law in either French, Spanish, Italian or German. They will also learn about the country in which they are based, with particular emphasis on understanding and applying subject-specific knowledge in a different legal and cultural setting. The content of the module will be designed for each student in discussion with the host institution and will include elements of directed learning and/or supervision.

Knowledge directly and indirectly related to the student’s degree subject is described. There is some analysis of the cultural influences on the interpretation and application of subject-specific knowledge but there is little critical evaluation. The report includes content in which the student evaluates the learning experience, mainly as a retrospective description of the placement experience with emphasis on how the experiences might shape future learning.

There is little analysis of the cultural influences on the interpretation and application of subject-specific knowledge and there is no evidence of critical evaluation. The report includes content in which the student evaluates the learning experience, only as a retrospective description of the placement experience with little emphasis on how the experiences might shape future learning.
