When taking this module you will live and work abroad for the whole academic year (a minimum of 28 weeks). You will use one or more work placements to gain skills that equip you to work in the global jobs market and to improve your knowledge of foreign cultures. You are encouraged to think about the intercultural competence and the employability skills that you acquire during their year abroad.

You will need to have gained an overall average mark for the year of 50% or above at Level 1 in order to participate in the work abroad programme.

If the operational language of the work placement organisation is not English, you must have obtained an Advanced Level module via the Foreign Language Centre at the University of Exeter (in your own time outside of your programme requirements*), or be able to demonstrate the equivalent level of language acquisition.

Please note that it is your responsibility to find a suitable work placement/or placements for you to undertake as part of this module.
