Module Overview

Lincoln International Business School (LIBS) believes that an option to study overseas is a valuable educational opportunity for our students.

The optional year is intended to:

- enable students to benefit from studying similar subjects within a cross cultural environment, by exposing students to a wider academic and cultural experience;

- facilitate reflexivity in learning and personal and professional development;

- enhance their future employment opportunities by increasing their cultural and professional mobility.

This module is optional for all taught on campus undergraduate students within Lincoln International Business School. Study Abroad is a year long module which enables students to spend time studying abroad at one of the University’s approved partner institutions.

During the year spent abroad, students share classes with local students and study on a suite of locally-delivered taught modules which have been approved in advance by the University. As many partner institutions support internships it is anticipated that some students will elect to combine study (minimum one semester equivalent) with work and or a period of volunteering.

Eligible students must have completed their second year of study to a satisfactory standard (normally with an average of a 2.1 or above, dependent upon partner requirements) standard and successfully completed the application process.

Upon completion of the study period abroad, each student will be required to submit a portfolio including a reflection on the experience of living and studying in a different cultural environment and the skills acquired.
