Our exciting Studyabroad@Southampton programme gives a wide choice to undergraduate international students looking to study with us for a semester or up to a year.
Please visit our @studyabroad hub to find out about more pathway options.
The University of Southampton excels at interdisciplinary learning. This programme allows students to access a wide range of academic perspectives to address issues relating to the global environment. The programme will provide a dynamic window onto the natural and social environments that comprise our changing world. It addresses critical global challenges required to protect our world, including climate change, environmental management, risk and uncertainty, complex-socio- ecological systems, global health, and many more. Students will have the flexibility to focus on key areas of their interest whilst developing valuable analytical and communication skills.
The pathways include modules from all three levels of study at Southampton. Each level corresponds to one of the three undergraduate years and builds upon knowledge and understanding from previous years. The year or level of a module is indicated by the first numeric digit in the module code (e.g. ECON2026 ). Introductory, level 1, modules have been included, where appropriate, to allow students to access pathways outside of their major or specialist area of study.
In each Semester 4 modules are studied for a total of 60 CATS/30 ECTS points. You are recommended to choose 4 modules and 2 reserve choices in each Semester in case your first choice modules are unavailable for any reason or you experience timetable clashes.
Modules with two codes have been designed for assessment at level 2 or level 3. In the case of such modules students hoping to progress to Masters Study or those needing to transfer final year credits back to their home university should choose the code for which the first numeric digit is a 3 (e.g. SOCI3084)
