Specific learning outcomes will depend on the institution selected and the units studied. However, it is anticipated that students will also benefit from the following:

Experience of Sociology in a wider non-UK context;
Experience of different teaching and study methods and styles and the chance to extend knowledge beyond the units that are delivered in Bristol; and
The opportunity to broaden horizons and be immersed in a new and exciting environment.

Teaching Information

Dependent on the host institution and the units selected.

Assessment Information

Assessment will clearly depend on the host institution and the units of study selected. Students will be expected to select units of study at a level equivalent to University of Bristol Level I. The mark for this unit will be derived solely from the translation of the marks achieved at the host University via algorithms agreed by the University of Bristol.
