• 30 ECTS from examined modules (equivalent to six modules at Imperial) 
• 30 ECTS from individual project
• 5 ECTS from Professional competencies portfolio

When you take the Year Abroad stream, you will follow the programme agreed with the partner institution and discuss the modules you will take with the Year Abroad Organiser. You will be expected to establish a clear study program that maps the learning outcomes of the year abroad choices to the UKSpec requirements. The year aboard organiser will help in this endeavour.

By the start of October you should email Professor Astolfi (copied to Emma Rainbow) with your choice of modules.  You will need the Department’s approval for your choice of modules.

Examined modules (30 ECTS).

 The marks are sent to the Department by your host university.  They are converted into percentage marks on the basis of our knowledge of the host instibution and of  their pass/fail policy. Please do not rely on past data or on anecdotal evidence. The Department is the only source of reliable information!
The exams marks carry 50% of your total mark for the year abroad.

Individual project (30 ECTS)

The project should be similar in scope to a final year project.  The title and broad subject of the project has to be approved by Professor Astolfi, and should be started as soon as possible after starting your year abroad.
The project is marked a member of staff of our department, and second marked by Professor Astolfi. This second marking takes into account information we receive from your project supervisor abroad. This mark constitutes 50% of your total mark for your year abroad.

Your dissertation is an essay on a subject of interest to engineers, and will have a component relating to the host country. It could for example describe a sector of industry, compare host country and the UK, and discuss  its impact on society. Or it could describe a piece of research, and its impact on the industry in the host country and the UK. The style to use is that of essays in Science (the journal), American Scientist, Le Monde or Die Zeit.
Your dissertation should be approximately 20 pages long (12 pt, double spacing) including title, references, etc.  The dissertation is marked by Professor Astolfi and carries 20% of the total mark for your year abroad.

While you are abroad

Please keep in touch (by email, phone if needed, and whenever you are back in London). If you encounter any serious problem let Professor Astolfi  know as soon as possible. Additionally, you may always contact the Senior Tutor, Professor Bouganis (Director of Undergraduate Studies) and Emma Rainbow (UG Administrator). If needed, we arrange a visit at your host institution to check your progress and discuss any problems.

Finally, please note that, while abroad if you have any doubt or problem it is always best, and wise, to let us know.
