Description

This module consists of the courses taken by a Study Abroad student in their year abroad. At least half of the credits must be for physics courses, with the remander being referred to as electives. Physics and elective courses at study abroad host institutions must be approved by the Stage 3 Study Abroad Co-ordinator. Physics courses should normally be at NQF Level 6 or above while not substantially overlapping modules that have already been taken as part of the degree. They must comprise learning within the domain conventionally known as 'Physics', but within this constraint students are encouraged to select courses that draw on the specialisms available in their host institution and/or that will broaden their education. Elective courses should normally be at NQF Level 5 or above while not substantially overlapping modules that have already been taken as part of the degree. Students are encouraged to select electives that are characteristic of the culture of the host country and/or that will broaden their education.
