CORNWALL

Cornwall All summer school students will visit the University of Exeter’s Penryn campus in Cornwall, which is a convenient base for the visits to St Ives and the Eden Project.

Students on the Global Climate Change pathway will spend three nights at the campus (16 July – 18 July) and attend lectures with leading academics from our Renewable Energy department which is based in Cornwall.

Students on other pathways will spend two nights at the campus (17 – 18 July) with the Britain and the Making of the Modern World, Global Enterprise, International Relations and Preventative Medicine pathways having lectures with faculty from the Penryn campus on 17 July.

The campus is home to a wide range of departments as well as the Environment and Sustainability Institute whose award winning interdisciplinary research focuses on the solutions to the problems of climate change.

23

ional internat school 2014 summer

The Academic Programme Classes There will be a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops or labs depending on how best to cover each topic. Our programmes are taught by a team of Exeter faculty from a number of disciplines so that you cover your subject from a range of perspectives and gain a greater understanding of it.

24

Studying in the UK may place a different emphasis on certain skills or study methods than you are used to.

The following will help you prepare so that you get the most out of the teaching programme.

The aim of our teaching is not to tell you the “correct� answer, but to explain the main points of a topic and encourage debate. This helps you to understand different arguments, make judgements about their merits and learn to analyse a topic critically. Participation is an important part of the learning process and it is essential to do some reading before each seminar, so that you can follow and contribute to the discussion.

Group work

During the programme you will have access to ‘ELE’, our virtual learning environment, which contains your reading list plus any lecture notes or additional materials that lecturers may upload.

Most of the pathways include group work designed to encourage team-working skills.

As groups will include students from different countries, it is a good way of learning about working in a multi-cultural environment.

It is essential that you read the relevant chapters or journal articles listed for each lecture to ensure you can follow the lecture and take part in the class discussions.

Assessment

Independent study An important part of UK academic culture is independent study. This usually involves working on your own or in a small group to research a topic and contribute to a seminar.

Independent study is intended to develop skills such as critical analysis and problemsolving to develop your own ideas.

ACADEMIC CONTENT

Course readings

Each pathway features a formative assessment which does not count to your final mark. You will receive feedback on the assessment which will help you complete the summative assessments (which count to your final grades) and achieve the best possible grade.

Assessment for the majority of pathways consists of a presentation and an essay, to be submitted within two weeks of the end of the programme.

25

ional internat school 20143 summer

Plagiarism

Studying on campus

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words or ideas as your own. Whenever you use a quotation or reproduce an author’s ideas you should reference the source. There is also a limit to how much of an essay should be quotations.

Pathway coordinators will give further instructions on how to reference in your assessments and you will be given further information via our online learning environment. Plagiarism of any form will not be tolerated on the International Summer School.

You will have lectures on campus typically from 10am – 12pm and from 1pm – 3pm which generally take place in the Business School.

Certificates and Transcripts Certificates of attendance will be awarded at the end of the programme.

Transcripts will be sent to students completing the assessment for their pathway in October, following the completion of our examination procedures. Provisional grades will be available in August.

If you have any problems with the academic content of the programme, please speak to Lyndon in the International Office or the academic coordinator for your pathway who will be able to assist you.

SOCIAL TRIPS

Stonehenge www.stonehenge.co.uk Stonehenge is the best known pre-historic monument in Europe and the site was added to the UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.

The methods used and the reasons for the construction of Stonehenge are largely unknown though there are many theories about who built it, when, and for what purpose. Suggestions include use as an ancient Roman temple, a place of worship by Druids or that it was a primitive computer for calculating the dates of eclipses. More recently, archaeologists have suggested that it was a place for prehistoric people’s ancestors, or perhaps a centre of healing.

Stonehenge is a place of pilgrimage for people following pagan and nonpagan beliefs and is the location for annual festivals marking the summer and winter solstices.

Bath

SATURDAY 12 JULY Meet at the coach stop on North Park Road at 7.30am - coaches will depart at 7.45am.

Coaches will depart Bath at 4.00pm for travel back to Exeter. www.visitbath.co.uk Bath is a historic city with a population of approximately 85,000 people. The city has been a world heritage site since 1987, recognising its international cultural significance, with 3.8 million tourists visiting the city every year, attracted by museums, theatres and other cultural attractions.

No visit to Bath is complete without a visit to Pulteney Bridge. Designed around 1770 by Robert Adam, the bridge is also a shopping arcade. It is one of only two bridges in Europe that serve this dual purpose, which explains why it is one of the main tourist attractions in Bath.

One of the main attractions is the baths and surrounding temple that were built by the Romans around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the United Kingdom. On a visit to the Roman Baths Museum it is possible to see Roman artefacts and learn more about how the original citizens of Bath lived.

You can now sample the restorative waters yourself at the Thermae Bath Spa. Please note that the cost of entry to the museum and spa is not included in the daytrip.

Bath has an excellent reputation as a shopping destination, with shops to suit all tastes and styles. The award-winning Milsom Street is great for designer shopping, Green Park Station Market offers food and arts and crafts products, and the Southgate Centre (Bath’s new covered shopping development) is also worth a visit.

The city has many other museums and theatres, including the Theatre Royal; the Fashion Museum, which tells the story of fashion over the past 400 years; the Bath Postal Museum and the Jane Austen Centre, which tells the story of one of Britain’s most famous authors. The Victoria Art Gallery shows work by artists from the 15th century to the present day. You can also visit Sally Lunn’s Refreshment House for some food in the oldest house in Bath.

50

One of Bath’s most famous sights is the award-winning Royal Crescent, a beautiful collection of 30 residential houses. This reputation has encouraged film producers to include the Royal Crescent in recent films such as The Duchess.

The Tourist Information Office can be found at Abbey Chambers, Abbey Churchyard, Bath, BA1 1LY.

St Ives FRIDAY 18 JULY We will visit St Ives during our stay at the Penryn campus in Cornwall.

Coaches will depart for St Ives at 8.30am and will return at 3pm. www.stives-cornwall.co.uk St Ives is an old fishing town and thriving tourist destination set amongst the beautiful sandy beaches and rolling countryside of the Cornish coast. The town is a maze of small streets with a multitude of gift shops, cafés selling the world famous Cornish pasty and art galleries – all situated around a small harbour and headland. There is plenty to do, whether you like shopping, surfing, walking or art.

Beaches On the north coast of St Ives, Porthmeor Beach has a good reputation for surfing and its location is ideal for people also wanting to visit Tate St Ives. Porthgwidden Beach is another option that is located to the east of Porthmeor Beach. Porthminster Beach is to the southeast of St Ives and is the longest beach in the town. For those fancying a longer stroll, a walk along the coast will bring you to the wide expanse of Carbis Bay. There are also dramatic cliff top walks to the west of the town for those of you wanting to explore the wilder side of the Cornish coast.

The harbour is a reminder of the fishing industry that the town used to thrive on.

The harbour is also the location for the St Ives Lifeboat Station and the eighteenth

52

century Smeatons Pier. Alongside the harbour wall are a variety of shops, restaurants, fish and chip shops and also a small beach.

A popular activity is taking an hour’s boat trip to Seal Island, 3.5 miles west of St Ives, where you can enjoy undisturbed seal watching. After leaving St Ives harbour, you will round the beautiful rugged Cornish cliffs and secluded coves, heading west to Seal Island. Tickets for the boat trip to Seal Island are purchased from outside the St Ives Lifeboat Station.

Art St Ives has a rich artistic tradition and there are many art galleries in the town, the most famous of which is the Tate St Ives, a branch of the world famous Tate Gallery in London. The Tate shows 20th century art, as well as changing exhibitions on the best of contemporary Cornish art. There are a number of other galleries in the area including the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Cornerstone Gallery and the Mozaic Gallery.

The Eden Project SATURDAY 19 JULY Our final activity in Cornwall is a visit to the Eden Project.

Coaches will depart from the Penryn Campus at 9am and return to Exeter at 2.30pm. www.edenproject.com The Eden Project is one of the South-West’s most popular attractions as well as being a charity and social enterprise.

The broader aim of the Eden Project is to educate people to live more sustainably and throughout the grounds you will find exhibits, art work and displays that illustrate the issues involved. The Eden Project also has regular music concerts and art festivals.

54

Created as a festival of plants, the centre is based around three domes, each representing a different climate. These domes, the largest greenhouses in the world, take visitors round the world’s flora. The tropical dome includes the biggest seed in the world, and a plant that can grow up to a metre a day, whilst the Mediterranean dome takes you across the equator to South Africa, and onwards to experience the Californian landscape.

Tours begin outside the Royal Clarence Hotel in Cathedral Yard, or from the Quay House Visitor Centre and take place between three and four times per day.

Hire a bike or kayak It is possible to hire a bike and cycle on the traffic-free cycle route to the seaside in Exmouth, the historic port of Topsham or Turf Lock where the River Exe Estuary meets the Exeter Ship Canal.

Have cream tea at the Cathedral There are many places to have a cream tea in Exeter though the Cathedral Café is the most charming setting for this very English institution.
