There is a great emphasis on choice, reflected in the broad range of courses, including linguistic studies, film and television studies, social and political studies, and literary studies; allowing students to specialise or opt for more general coverage; the year abroad provides an opportunity to improve linguistic and cultural proficiency in a chosen language and to demonstrate an ability to work independently over a sustained period; the administrative organisation of the year abroad is carried out by the international exchange administrator, and students are assigned a supervisor who look after the learners during the year; students can spend a year abroad as an English language assistant in a school, studying at a partner university or on a work placement; languages and contemporary European studies students can choose to find a work placement or go to a university.
