This 120 credit point unit will comprise a range of mathematics, engineering and related topics taken at a foreign institution with which Bristol has made a bilateral agreement. The subjects will be arranged on an individual basis, set out in a formal learning agreement and approved by the home Department. The programmes should include the core subjects at an appropriate level, where possible. Students are encouraged to do projects, where available, and to study specialist subjects which are not taught at Bristol.
Students will acquire broadly similar skills to those corresponding to the third year of the G161 programme offered at Bristol. This will include being able to demonstrate knowledge of suitable technical mathematics and engineering topics, together with their application to mathematical and data modelling. In particular, it is required that they obtain a sufficient background so as to provide pre-requisites for their option choices, and for an appropriate individual project, in year 4.

Assessments for the year will be based on the work at the chosen University. Assessment methods are in the form of written exams and submission of assessed coursework. All assessments are run by the host institution. The number of credits that need to be undertaken is determined in accordance with the University's regulations at the time. The mark awarded by the chosen University will be adjusted to an equivalent Bristol mark using approved conversion algorithms.
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. EMAT38001).
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.
