Module Selection

Students should be aware that there are module requirements that need to be fulfilled while studying abroad. Students need to take and pass modules equivalent to 60 King's credits for one semester, and 120 King's credits for a full year, taking into account any pre-requisites for third year modules It’s important to note that we cannot guarantee that you will be able to access your compulsory modules at your host institution as module availability might change on short notice each year. If students cannot find the compulsory modules for their degree at the partner, they will not be permitted to study abroad or will be asked to return to the King's Business School. For students wishing to study abroad for semester two of their second year, it is compulsory to take the following module at the partner institution in semester one. • Macroeconomics If you are choosing to study abroad for a 3rd, additional year abroad, extending your degree to 4 years, there are no compulsory modules to take at the partner institution. The King's Business School recommends a general focus of the modules on Economics, Business and Management. All students preparing to study abroad must work with the Study Abroad Tutor for Management to confirm appropriate module choices ahead of the module selection deadline set by the host university.
