The academic session is spent at a foreign higher education institution which has a bilateral student exchange agreement with the University of Bristol, taking a range of mechanical engineering topics and related studies. These are negotiated on an individual basis, set out in a formal learning agreement, and approved by the home and receiving departments. Students will take lectures and laboratory classes as part of a normal student group, broadly equivalent to those taken in Year 3 in Bristol. For H301 students this is usually in either a French or German-speaking country. Students must take an individual/link-paired project equivalent to that offered by Bristol in Year 3.
1. Students will have gained 120 Bristol credit points (or approved equivalent) at an appropriate level. All key learning objectives laid out in the 3rd year core unit’s unit descriptions should be achieved. Note that those not achieved should be covered in the 4th year.
2. Students will have satisfied the departmental progression requirements to the 4th year.
3. Students will have developed their communication team working and learning skills while living as a student engineer in a foreign environment for a complete academic year.

If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. MENG39000).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
