Description

A Junior Year Abroad (JYA) is one academic year of study, from September to the end of May in the following calendar year. It consists of three terms; two teaching periods of 12 weeks each the Autumn and Spring terms and the Summer period of revision and examinations.

This option is the most flexible and opens up for choice, within the constraints of timetabling and prerequisites, almost all undergraduate degree modules in Levels 1 and 2 from a range of Arts, Social Sciences, and Sport Sciences disciplines.

Students may also take language modules (Mandarin Chinese, French, or Spanish) for credit.

Autumn or Spring Term Abroad
The Autumn Term option runs for the 12 weeks of the first term from late September to mid December.

The Spring Term option begins in January and runs for the 12 weeks of the second term, followed by the Summer period of revision and examinations.
For international students who are unable, for whatever reason, to study abroad for a full academic year, this option offers the possibility of study for a shorter period of time from a more limited range of existing single term modules in Levels 1 and 2.

JYA plus English
JYA + English is for students who require intensive English language preparation for integrated study at Brunel University. This programme is especially designed to meet the needs of students from countries such as Japan where the academic year begins in April. The programme is flexible in that it matches individual backgrounds and abilities to appropriate levels of study.

JYA + English begins in late April and incorporates an initial period of English language programme and study skills through International Pathways Language Centre (IPLC) before leading on to incorporate the two main academic terms. Students who meet the required level of English can take modules starting in September. The year programme (JYA + English) finishes at the end of March in the following year while a shorter programme (Term I + English) ends in mid-December.
