Course Information
Most modules are year-long, meaning students have a wider selection of modules if they start their placement September/October. Special Assessment methods are available for students who leave Warwick prior to the Summer Term or who do not complete a full academic year. Special Assessment methods can consist of written exams, the submission of individual essays, or other types of tests, where appropriate.
Credit is given in CATS: one ECTS is equivalent to two CATS. Full modules (full academic year) are normally 30 CATS (15 ECTS); half modules are counted as 15 CATS (7.5 ECTS). For part-year students, Warwick will calculate relevant percentages of these, the weighting used is 40% for Autumn Term, 40% for Spring Term and 20% for Summer term.
