Year 3
3A
|
Before proceeding to the final year a student will spend one session in an appropriate country, in attendance as a full-time student at a university or other approved institution, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Head of Department.
|
3B
|
A student must normally achieve a weighted mean grade of 55 or above at Level 1 and a weighted mean grade of 60 or above in Semester 1 of Level 2 in order to continue as a student for the Degree of BSc Environmental Science with a Year Abroad, progression being at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BSc Environmental Science (GEOU211).
|
3C
|
During the Year Abroad, the student will attend courses of study in the host university. Examinations in that university in the subjects studied will carry a value of one hundred and twenty credits for which no University of Sheffield grades will be awarded. A student who fails to pass all 120 credits (according to the hosts’ pass mark) will normally be required to become instead a student for the Degree of BSc Environmental Science (GEOU211).
