MODULE PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTOR
Explanatory Text
The module is assessed by the host study abroad institution. This will vary according to the institution - students should seek the guidance of the Course/Programme Leader (or equivalent) at the host institution to identify assessment instruments. Host institutions will provide transcripts for the relevant number of modules undertaken during the study abroad period. Students will be expected to pass the module at the level specified at the host institution. Any grade or mark at the host institution at pass level or above will be recorded as 'P' (Pass). Any grade or mark at the host institution at less than pass level will be recorded as 'U' (Unsuccessful). Actual grades/marks and the relevant ECTS or local credits will be provided to the student via a transcript provided by the host institution.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Students will join cohorts in partner institutions which are at SCQF Level 9 or equivalent. This module will normally be delivered in English. Students wishing to undertake the module in the host language will only be allowed to do so if certified to do so at the appropriate level. Modules (sometimes called courses at partner institutions) may differ in credit size (hours) from the standard 7.5 ECTS at RGU, therefore students will be expected to achieve 30 ECTS per semester by successfully achieving the relevant number of modules at the host institution (this could be more or less than the standard 4 at RGU). ECTS (or other local) credits awarded by the host institution will be shown on the transcripts provided by them. 30 ECTS (or local equivalent) will then be translated into the successful achievement of 4 Study Abroad modules at RGU.
