If you are planning to study for an entire academic year, you should list modules worth 120 credits plus two additional modules. If you are studying for one semester, you should list modules worth 60 credits in total with two additional module choices.
It is the responsibility of all Study Abroad students to ensure that arrangements to transfer credit back to your home university are in place. For advice on module selection and credit transfer, you should speak to the relevant academic office in your home university.
