HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? AT THE END OF YEAR 1 students must achieve marks of 40% or more in modules worth at least 80 credits (with no mark in any module below 30%) in order to progress to Year 2.

Most modules are assessed by mixture of coursework and examination. The pass mark in all assessments is 40%.

AT THE END OF YEAR 2 a similar set of rules determines progression to Year 3.

HOW WILL MY FINAL DEGREE CLASSIFICATION BE DETERMINED? Your final degree classification is determined by your overall mark as follows: OVERALL MARK %

30 STUDY OR WORK ABROAD

STUDY OR WORK ABROAD Studying or working abroad as part of your degree is the opportunity of a lifetime. By spending time in another country, you will experience new cultures, make new friends, gain a global perspective on your subject and learn a new language.

Best of all, you will enhance your employability by developing new skills and becoming more motivated, confident and independent.

You do not have to be studying a language to undertake one of these exchanges, and Bangor University offers three options which range from summer programmes to a year abroad.

bangor.ac.uk/education

International Experience Year

This is our most popular programme, where students add an extra year onto their degree and spend that additional year studying or working abroad. You will not be charged any additional tuition fees

by Bangor University and you will not be asked to pay tuition fees abroad either.

Students who successfully complete an International Experience Year have ‘with International Experience’ added to their degree title.

31 STUDY OR WORK ABROAD

Alumni profile “In the years since qualifying as a teacher, I have experienced many changes in education. The advent of e-learning has brought about huge pedagogical shifts. Bangor prepared me to handle these changes as the course highlights the importance of adaptability in education. I love my career, it is a privilege to work alongside so many wonderful educators and children.”

Substitute Programme

If you do not want to add a year to your degree, you may be able to go abroad on our ‘Substitute’ programme. The exchange will happen during your second year, and you can choose to spend the entire second year abroad or just one semester. This is a study only option, and the credits you gain abroad will be transferred back to your degree programme at Bangor.

ALOMA WILLIAMS Deputy Principal at James Hargest College, Invercargill, New Zealand

Summer Programmes

If you would like to spend only a short time abroad, you can apply to take part in one of our international Summer Programmes. These are cultural programmes lasting between two and six weeks, which take place at our partner universities in South Korea and China.
