  8. Exchange agreements are usually School specific. However, we will allow you to take one or two modules offered from other Schools within the Faculty as long as you have the necessary pre-requisites, and there are no timetable clashes. The majority of your modules must be taken from the School the agreement is with. You are not able to take more than 4 modules in one semester. Undergraduate modules are worth 15 Surrey / 7.5 ECTS credits each. Postgraduate modules are worth 15 Surrey / 7.5 ECTS credits each. Your Studies

  9. For a list of modules available to exchange students, please refer to your Welcome Handbooks, SurreyLearn, or you can look at the FBEL Exchange website: www.surrey.ac.uk/fbel/study/exchange Read the module description available via the module catalogue link or ask the Exchange Administrator to provide you with a copy via email. Check with your Home University whether or not specific academic requirements apply to your time on exchange. Choosing Modules

  10. All modules are taught by a combination of lectures and tutorials/seminars. Lectures usually run for 2 hours, tutorials/seminars for 1 hour or more. Tutorials and seminars are smaller groups of students discussing topics at length. Tutorials tend to be more interactive whereas seminars involve more presentation from the teacher. The University of Surrey encourages independent learning. You will be expected to read around the subject using your own initiative. Lectures and tutorials are just the start! You must attend the SurreyLearn induction. Important information will be posted on this virtual learning tool, so please check it regularly. Teaching Methods

  11. Changes to your learning agreement are permissible after you arrive only if you have clashes on your timetable or other extenuating circumstances which will necessitate a change. Choosing from different levels of study may mean your modules clash. We cannot permit you to enrol on modules where clashes occur. Up to date timetables can be found on SurreyLearn. Students should check Surrey Learn at the beginning of every weekday to check for announcements/ changes to times or venues. Tutorials for Law will not commence until week 3. Management tutorials start in week 1 and Economics tutorials start in week 2. All other tutorials start in week 1. Further information will be sent to students via email and posted on Surrey Learn. Where large slots are seen on the timetable, students should be aware that each tutorial will be for one hour. Timetables

  12. Timetables an easy guide 1 2 3 4 • Title - name of the module • Type – lecture/tutorial/seminar • Location – room number, building, level • Scheduling – weeks running (i.ewks 1-11 or 2, 3, 4, 6) Good tip > Each module should have a 2hr lecture slot and a 1-2hr tutorial/seminar session. If you see a number of tutorials/seminars on the timetable it means you can choose which one to attend. Where lectures last for 3 hours a tutorial/seminar will be added into this time slot.

  13. Typically coursework and/or an examination at the end of the semester. Some modules also have in-class test and group projects during semester. See the module descriptor or the module welcome handbook for weighting of assessments. Marks are available via SurreyLearn at the end of each semester. Transcripts are sent to your Home University for your collection following the Board of Examiners (Feb/March for semester one and July/August for semester two) Full credits are awarded for passing modules. The pass mark is 40% for Undergraduate modules and 50% for Postgraduate modules. You are entitled to re-sit, but you need to be present during the re-sit sessions. These are in August for both UG & PG modules. Module Assessment

  14. Important things to note Mark deadlines are strictly observed. You must submit your work on time. It is your responsibility to make sure you know the submission deadlines. 10% is deducted for every 24hrs late. Work submitted later than 72hrs will not be marked and a mark of 0% will be entered on to the student’s record. If you know you are going to struggle to submit your work on time you must make an application for extenuating circumstances before the deadline. You can make an application by visiting the Student Advisors in 36MS02 or by emailingfbelstudentadvisors@surrey.ac.uk PLEASE make sure you read the Undergraduate Handbook for Academic Regulations for examinations and coursework. These apply to you! Module Assessment

  15. You should have already submitted a learning agreement. If you find you need to make changes a new agreement will need to be completed and submitted. This must be done no later than two weeks after the semester commences. Following this date you will not be able to change modules. If you need to submit a new learning agreement you should visit the Exchange Office in the Rik Medlik Building, 13MS01.
