Study options for exchange
•
Exchange agreements are usually School
specific. However, we do allow students to
take one or two undergraduate modules from
other Schools within the Faculty as long as
they have the necessary pre-requisites and no
timetable clashes occur.
•
We insist on confirmation of approval from the
Home University if students wish to enrol on
more than 4 modules in one semester.
•
Undergraduate modules are worth 15 Surrey /
7.5 ECTS credits each.
•
Postgraduate modules are worth 15 Surrey /
7.5 ECTS credits each.
Choosing Modules
•
Refer to the Exchange website: www.surrey.ac.uk/fbel/study/exchange
Click on the link for Incoming Students and Academic Information for
a list of modules offered by each School.
•
Read the module description available via the module catalogue link or ask
the Exchange Administrator to provide you with a copy via email.
•
Check with your Home University whether or not specific academic
requirements apply to your time on exchange.
Teaching Methods
•
All modules are taught by a combination of lectures and tutorials/seminars.
Lectures usually run for 2 hours, tutorials for 1 hour or more. Tutorials and
seminars are smaller groups of students discussing topics at length.
•
An undergraduate module will typically have 3 contact hours of teaching per
week. With independent study the total amount of hours students should
allocate per week for each module is approximately 12hrs.
•
The University of Surrey encourages independent learning. Students are
expected to read around the subject using their own initiative. Lectures and
tutorials are just the start!
Module Assessment
•
Modules are typically assessed through coursework and/or an examination
at the end of the semester. An number of modules also have in-class test
and group projects. See the module descriptor or the welcome handbook
for the weighting of assessments.
•
Marks are available via Surrey Learn at the end of each semester.
Transcripts are sent to the Home University for student collection following
the Board of Examiners (February or July/August)
•
Full credits are awarded for passing modules. The pass mark for
undergraduate modules is 40% and 50% for postgraduate modules.
•
Students are entitled to re-sit, but will need to be present during the re-sit
sessions. These take place in August for all modules.
