Syllabus Plan and Content

While abroad the student will follow an agreed timetable of language and physics, or theoretical physics, modules (the latter being equivalent to a mixture of level 2 and 3 physics modules at Exeter). These will be selected in consultation with the host institution and the student, in accordance with the University code of good practice for student study abroad. Of the 45 ECTS credits represented by this module, a minimum of 25 must be for physics modules and preferentially 20 for language modules. If the full 20 ECTS credits of language is not available then the student will take a mixture of language and physics or theoretical physics modules. If no language course is available the student will take only physics or theoretical physics modules.
