| Nature
of Exchange |
|
Two exchange places are available.
The exchange covers the tuition fees only
for the year at New York; all accommodation, travel and
other personal expenses are the responsibility of the student.
Medical subscriptions, sports fees and extra curricular
fees are not covered.
On campus accommodation may be available
for exchange students but is not guaranteed.
|
| Credit
Transfer |
| It is possible
to spend the year at New York either as an integral year or
as an additional year.
If the year is spent as an additional
year, there will be no credit towards the University
of London degree for the courses taken, but a report will
be provided by New York at the end of the year. This arrangement
allows exchange students to take courses from outside their
main academic field of study if they wish.
If the year is taken as an integral
year, students are required to prepare a study plan for
the period abroad. The study plan must be approved by the
student's department before the application for the exchange
is submitted and, subsequently, when course availability
is finalised.
|
| Who
is Eligible? |
|
Students in any department who are in their
first or second year may apply for an exchange place at
New York if they wish to spend the year as an additional
year in between their first and second or second and final
years at Royal Holloway.
Students who are in their first year may
be able to spend the year as an integral year ie.
the second year of a three year degree. Eligibility for
any credit transfer arrangement will vary from department
to department (see general notes). In departments where
the transfer of credit is difficult, it may be more appropriate
to spend the year as an additional year.
