The marks you obtain at the exchange university contribute to the grading of your final degree classification at the University of Huddersfield. The marks are converted using an agreed scale. Whilst the majority of the courses offered will be in European and International Politics, you will have the opportunity to follow mainstream Politics courses at most institutions. History students can follow History modules at Umea and Limerick. It is also possible for you to undertake written project work.
Great attention is paid to ensuring parity of workload for all exchange students.
Most people at the contintental universities will speak excellent English and the vast majority of people outside of the universities will have a working knowledge of English too. In addition, there is sometimes money available to allow you to undertake a short language course. Accommodation is arranged for you by the host institution and is usually situated on campus. The cost of accommodation will vary from country to country and according to the type of accommodation you require. In the event that you undertake an exchange during the second semester, this will be as an alternative to the work placement.
