120 Bristol Credits (or equivalent) at an appropriate level from a partner institution selected from ERASMUS partners, or other foreign partner institution with whom a University of Bristol bilateral educational agreement has been exchanged.
This 120 Credit unit will comprise a range of aeronautical engineering topics and related studies, negotiated on an individual basis, set out in a formal learning agreement, and approved by the home department.
This 120 Credit unit must cover a reasonable proportion (75%+) of each of the topics in the Bristol third year core units:
AENG 31101 - Aerodynamics (10)
AENG 31102 - Aircraft Propulsion (10)
AENG 31200 - Structures and Materials 3 (20)
AENG 31300 - Sensors, Signals and Control (20)
AENG 30009 - Aerospace Systems Engineering (10)
CENG 30004 - Professional Studies B (10)
Further the student must undertake the literature review part of AENG 30003 Individual Exploratory Project in preparation for AENG M0032 Final Year Research Project. The units taken during the overseas exchange placement must be at a level such that the student is as prepared as possible for the fourth year back at Bristol.
After these requirements are met, the student will undertake approved complementary studies, with a total workload equivalent to a full academic year at the host institution if possible (60 ECTS credits under ERASMUS, or equivalent)
1. Students will have gained 120 Bristol credit points (or approved equivalent) at an appropriate level. All key learning objectives laid out in the 3rd year core unit’s unit descriptions should be achieved. Note that those not achieved should be covered in the 4th year.
2. Students will have satisfied the departmental progression requirements to the 4th year.
3. Students will have developed their communication team working and learning skills while living as a student engineer in a foreign environment for a complete academic year.

If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. AENG30500).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
