Courses:
The website: http://www.wmin.ac.uk/page-4605 enables you to see the classes available at Westminster. Please note that, as the website indicates, not every module is available every semester.
Credits:
Participants in the Brockport Westminster Program will normally earn four credit hours for each course successfully completed at the University of Westminster, for a maximum of sixteen credits per semester.
Curriculum:
Prior to their departure, participants in Brockport's University of Westminster Program will select four courses (with alternate choices) from the University's Study Abroad Module catalog. Applicants to the School of Communication, Design and Media will also need to submit a portfolio of their work for each course.
All instruction is by University of Westminster faculty and program participants are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their British counterparts. The vast majority of courses are examined formally at the end of the semester and in order to receive any credit, participants must take--and pass--the examination at the end of the study period.
Part-time Internships:
Participants in Brockports University of Westminster program can pursue a part-time internship in a majority of the disciplines offered at Westminster. Internships are traditionally in lieu of two of the four standard courses, and thus they are awarded 8 credits.
Westminster cannot guarantee an internship placement until a successful interview is completed once in London. Please indicate your desire to pursue an internship in a specific field in the Study Statement of your application.
NOTE: For Westminster Participants Only:
If a student wishes to undertake an internship as part of his/her studies OR s/he wants the right to work, then the student must apply for the "student visitor visa" before going to the UK. Students are not able to change their status once in the UK (i.e., switch from an ordinary visitor visa/status to a student visa/status).
