The aims of this module are multifarious, but its primary ambition is to equip students with the skills and confidence to practice as professional engineers in a global environment where multi-national engineering companies predominate. It is structured to provide an experience that gives the student the opportunity to apply and extend the integrated knowledge that they have gained thus far in their programme to real engineering problems in an unfamiliar culture and environment. Whilst following a rigorous yet mixed programme of study appropriate to their particular engineering discipline, students are encouraged to immerse themselves fully in the culture, language and in particular the engineering ethos of their host country or particular region thereof.
The syllabus followed abroad will be individually tailored to the student and host institution by negotiation between the student, programme lead and the module convenor (Study Abroad Coordinator). Individual Student Syllabus should contain an appropriate mix of credit rated modules, with the minimum of 75% of modules in their ‘core’ subject, while 25% of modules can be in other subjects.
