Aims
LAW2110 facilitates Law students undertaking the Year Abroad. By studying abroad at one of the prestigious Law School exchange partners students can improve their communication, language and inter- cultural skills, and gain soft skills highly valued by future employers. In addition, students will gain disciplinary insights into different legal systems and legal cultures, which enhance overall levels of knowledge, understanding, and overall employability skills.
Outline Of Syllabus
The content of the Syllabus is determined by Newcastle Law School's institutional partners.
Students select from a range of modules taught in English that are offered by their host University, and their module selection must be approved by the DPD for Global Legal Studies (who would also ordinarily be the module leader for LAW2110).

Students will register on modules with a credit value approximated to 100 Newcastle University credits, and their module selection must be approved in a Learning Agreement by the DPD for Global Legal Studies.

Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The Board of Examiners (BoE) will certify that candidates have completed the Exchange Year Abroad upon receipt of academic transcripts from Partner Universities where the transcripts demonstrate that the candidate has produced a passing performance of the overall year. In this instance candidates will be deemed to have passed LAW2110. For the avoidance of doubt, a passing performance is the successful attainment of an average mark of at least 40 (on the Newcastle scale) across modules undertaken during the exchange year. A failing performance in particular modules can therefore be outweighed by a strong performance in other modules. The BoE might be willing to exercise its discretion and certify completion of the exchange year abroad, notwithstanding academic failure to attain an average of 40 across the exchange year abroad, where there are relevant and significant personal extenuating circumstances brought to the attention of the Board. Marks and credits attained during the Exchange Year Abroad will not directly input into aggregate or average marks of a student’s degree performance for the purposes of determining overall degree classification. Nonetheless, account may, at the discretion of the Board of Examiners, be taken of relevant assessments in the Exchange Year Abroad in awarding the degree class at the end of Stage 3.
Failure to complete the Exchange Year Abroad, and thus resulting in a Fail in LAW2110, will result in candidates being transferred back to the M101 LLB programme for the remainder of their degree studies.
