Description CCSYA3 (Contemporary Culture and Society Year Abroad Three) allows students to experience another culture and a new study experience. Students attend partner universities abroad where they attend approved modules delivered through the medium of English. Where a student has sufficient competence in the language of the host country they can undertake modules in that language. It is expected that students select at least one language-learning module -where available- in order to facilitate learning the language of the host country and fuller integration. Modules can be drawn from a range of modules compatible with the BACCS programme, but subject at all times to prior approval by the coordinator. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
