Description: This is a new module designed in line with the University’s internationalisation Strategies to offer students an international education experience during which they’ll develop intercultural competence and benefit from the teaching and research excellence of our Eutopia partners. Diversifying our students’ international learning experience is central to the SMLC strategy and this student-driven module will add particular value to those students unable to spend a full year abroad by giving them opportunity to benefit from the Eutopia alliance. Since the pandemic and with the costs of going abroad caused by Brexit (and the cost of living crisis), we are seeing an increasing number of students unable to spend a year abroad. This will offer a unique opportunity for international exposure, experience and new employability skills relevant to today’s globalised world.
Students will be able to design their own term of study from an à la carte menu of options offered by Eutopia partners (excluding Warwick).
There are 2 alternative routes but they have comparable contact hours and workload. Students will design their own learning and so co-curate their own module.
- Route A – Virtual engagement: students would typically take 2 online micro courses each of 4-5 weeks . These may be from the same partner or 2 different partners. (1 longer 9-week course may also be a possibility).
- Route B – In-person engagement: students would spend 1 week in Brussels at VUB where they would follow an intensive Eutopia module
Both a) and b) will be assessed through attendance and a reflective paper.
This module is linked to a community of the European University Alliance EUTOPIA. Through this module, you will have the opportunity to engage with EUTOPIA in ways appropriate for the module’s learning outcomes. For further information, see the department’s module webpage.
