Credits:
King's College calculates credits so that a total of 32 credits is the norm for a given academic year. Depending on course selection, full year students will earn between 28 and 34 credits, while fall semestesr students will typically receive 14 to 16 credits and spring semester participants accumulate between 14 and 20.
Curriculum:
On academic and social grounds, King's College London encourages study abroad students to study for an entire academic year. However, many departments allow for students to enroll in the fall or spring semester only.
Successful applicants to Brockport's King's College London program become candidates for admission to three or four departments where they will pursue their course of study. Prior to departure, participants will select eight courses, from three to four departments, in order of preference. It is not possible to specify how many courses a student will take in one semester because credit values vary between, and sometimes within, departments (i.e. a typical Biology course carries 4 credits, while all History courses carry 10 credits). A typical full year program could be comprised of 3 to 8 courses, while a semester load will vary between 2 to 4 courses.
All instruction is by King's College London faculty and participants will be examined in the same manner, and to the same standard, as their British classmates. The majority of courses in which they enroll will be examined formally at the end of the semester. These examinations often carry the weight of 60 to 80 percent of the final grade, and in order to be awarded credit, participants must take--and--pass these examinations.
