This module allows students the opportunity to study abroad for a year at a host University approved by the School of History. You may select preferred institutions and countries after liaising with the module convenor for the year abroad. The module provides you with an excellent opportunity to sample a different academic community as well as experiencing the social and cultural differences of the host city and country.
The module aims to help you to broaden your subject-specific knowledge relating to History to gain experience of living and studying within a different social and cultural environment. The actual experience of studying during the year abroad will vary widely from one student to another, dependent on the University attended and the individual host city and country and will normally comprise a combination of taught courses in History, other subjects, and language training where relevant. The School’s Year Abroad Coordinator will need to approve the selection of modules you will take during your year abroad.
On successful completion of the module students will have demonstrated the following learning outcomes relevant to the subject:
1. Critically evaluate historical issues across different contexts.
2. Effectively use a broad range of historical research materials.
Skills Learning Outcomes
