SPIR
offers four year programmes that involve spending the full third-year
studying at a carefully selected overseas institution.
If
you are taking a degree which involves a full-year studying abroad,
whilst the year abroad does not count towards your overall degree
classification, you must pass this third-year to remain registered on
your degree. To pass the year abroad you must pass the equivalent of
105 credits and maintain an average of 40.0. If you fail the year
abroad, when you return to Queen Mary you will be changed to the
relevant three year programme.
Optional Semester Abroad
Students may spend semester A or semester B of their second-year studying at a carefully selected overseas institution.
The
grades that you obtain from your semester abroad will be converted into
equivalent credit values and grades at Queen Mary according to
approved conversions and these will be used to contribute to your
overall second-year results. Overall the second-year contributes to 30%
of the final degree classification.
