Associate and ERASMUS students are welcome in the School of Languages, Linguistics and Film, which has run successful exchanges with different countries for a number of years. Some students come for the whole academic year, others for only one semester. ERASMUS students are assigned an Adviser to help you to register on appropriate modules. The Advisers are: Dr Leigh Oakes for students in the French Department, Dr Robert Gillett for students in the German Department, Luisa Marti for Spanish students in the Iberian and Latin American Studies Department and TBC for Portuguese students in the Iberian and Latin American Studies Department. You should keep in touch regularly with your Adviser, to inform him/her of any difficulty which may arise, and of any change of address. Associate students should bring any queries to our Associate Student Adviser, Dr Erez Levon (e.levon@qmul.ac.uk).
As far as possible, the Advisers will help you to choose modules which correspond to programmes of your home universities, taking into account your own preferences. However we cannot guarantee a place on a particular module, as they can be oversubscribed and even home students are not always able to register for the course of their first choice. Students must have knowledge equivalent to the pre-requisites for Queen Mary modules.
Associate and ERASMUS students are encouraged to take part in all aspects of university life and benefit from all the opportunities offered on campus. You are bound by the same rules as home students. You are expected to contribute fully to the modules you attend, prepare oral presentations and submit written work as required. Any special difficulty should be discussed with the Module Organiser.
ERASMUS students and Full-year and Spring Semester Associate students are required to take the standard assessment for any modules they study. This means that you must remain in attendance for any written examinations in the Examination Term. Autumn Semester only Associate students must identify themselves to the Module Organiser at the start of the module, and find out the mode of assessment which is appropriate to them for each module.
