During your Study Abroad year

Yes – please amend your Module Approval Form to include your new choices. Make sure to highlight any changes in yellow so that they stand out. You should then send this to the LUBS9001 Module Leader Maria Hussain at m.hussain1@leeds.ac.uk for her to review.

You need to enrol on the number of credits listed in your host university’s row under ‘Course Enrolment’ in the ‘Credit Load Guide’ spreadsheet.

If you're finding your workload challenging, please let us know by emailing either Maria Hussain or the LUBS Study Abroad Team at studyabroad@lubs.leeds.ac.uk.

Please provide as much information as possible. If you have a list of the modules you want to enrol on, email this to Maria Hussain and the LUBS Study Abroad Team in addition to your Module Approval Form.

Yes, this is allowed. Your host university may even require you to enrol on more than 50%. If this is not a requirement, please try to stick as closely to the 50/50 split as possible.

You should enrol on Level 2/3 modules – please note that North American universities will refer to these as Level 3/4 modules.

Some universities do not state what level modules are in the same way that we do here in Leeds. They may be only be classified as undergraduate or graduate/postgraduate. If this applies to you, please read the module descriptions carefully and ensure that you only enrol on one business-related/joint honours module that appears to be introductory. Please explain that you don’t know the levels of your modules in your Module Approval Form.

Please amend the form to show which trimester or block your chosen modules fall in. You don’t need to stick to the original column format.

If a module would be taught by the Business School if you were studying it at Leeds, we would count this as business-related. This includes modules related to:

• Accounting
• Banking
• Economics
• Finance
• Management
• Marketing

Yes. Your host university should be able to check what modules you have studied at Leeds that would be equivalent to prerequisites. For example, if you want to enrol on a module that has a prerequisite of microeconomics, your host university are likely to accept evidence that you have studied microeconomics at Leeds as proof that you have met this prerequisite.

Your host university’s systems may incorrectly believe that you are a first-year student, as this will be the first academic year you have studied there. If this is the case, please speak to your host university.

If you are a UK student, the LUBS Study Abroad Team will change your course between May and June. If you are a UK student visa holder your course will only be changed when we have received confirmation that you have passed the last academic year and achieved an average grade of at least 60.

You do not need to complete a change of programme form. We will instead email you before changing your course to confirm that you are happy for us to do so.

During your Study Abroad year you will be enrolled on a 120-credit module known as LUBS9001: Year Abroad. This is a Pass/Fail module and so does not contribute to your degree classification. Your overall submission will be graded as fail, pass, pass with merit, or pass with distinction.

Credits achieved whilst studying abroad will also not contribute to your degree classification. However, you do need to pass a certain number of credits at your host university in order to pass LUBS9001.

You should upload your completed assignments to the submission area for your start month. We will email you to confirm which area you should submit to, at which point you will be able to let us know if this is incorrect.

You must submit to the same submission area for each assignment. For example, if you start in August, you need to submit to this area for the Pre-Departure, Mid-Year and Final assignments.

Please email the LUBS Assessment Team at LUBSAssessment@leeds.ac.uk as soon as possible. Make sure that you attach your assignment.
