There is a designated Study Abroad Contact person in each academic School to provide academic advice and support to students. Assessment will be given by examinations, assignments, essays, project work and class participation. A transcript giving modules, credits and grades for completed modules is automatically provided by the Study Abroad Coordinator Accommodation University accommodation is guaranteed to all Study Abroad students. The University has twelve Halls of Residence on the University Park Campus and two on the Jubilee Campus.
All halls are mixed but some have single sex blocks.
Halls offer common rooms and social facilities. All study bedrooms are fully furnished and are equipped with voice and data points. Some study bedrooms have en-suite bathroom facilities and some have shared access to bathrooms. The University also owns a complex of self-catering flats at the edge of the University Park Campus called Broadgate Park. Each flat comprises five or six single study bedrooms with kitchen and bathroom facilities shared by the occupants.
