The Year Abroad module provides an opportunity for students to extend their understanding of their degree subject area by a period of study abroad at a Host Institution.

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. 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.

Criteria and thresholds for assessments undertaken while at the Host Institution will be determined by the Host Institution. In case the student does not pass the required number of credits while abroad, the following assessment criteria will be applicable to the essays submitted to make up for the shortfall:

Threshold: There are weaknesses in the way that the essay is structured, resulting in repetition and/or lack of clarity. It contains descriptive text relating to the knowledge acquired by the student but with evidence that the descriptions have not been fully developed. Knowledge directly related to the student’s degree subject is described but with little emphasis on any other knowledge acquired. 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.

1. Have acquired subject specific knowledge that will contribute to their general understanding of law that can be applied to their studies in subsequent modules at Level 6.

2. Appreciate and understand how the legal framework in different countries is influenced by multi-cultural and transnational issues.

3. Be able to evaluate their learning experience abroad and apply it to their future careers.
