ACADEMIC CONDITIONS FOR THE EXCHANGE
Please be aware that your study exchange has been approved on the basis of the units/modules
which you submitted on your BU Learning Agreement. Any changes made to the nature/content of
your study exchange without the prior approval of your Course Leader will jeopardise your
progression at Bournemouth University.
You must also be aware that your study exchange will only be recognised on a pass/fail basis. You
will be expected to pass your study exchange in order to progress at BU; however the grades from
the study abroad period will not count towards your final degree classification. You will receive BU
credits for the units studied during your exchange.
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE EXCHANGE
You must comply with the rules and regulations of the host institution during your study period. This
includes attending sessions and examinations, complying with their rules governing expected
behaviour and procedures as well as academic standards.
You will be attending an institution abroad where cultural expectations and the legal and regulatory
framework may be different from those in the UK. In particular, you should note that not all countries
in which Bournemouth University has have Exchange partners will have similar regulatory frameworks
