Academics
Other Academic Conditions
Students Arrive: mid-September (autumn), mid-January (spring)
Classes Start: late September (autumn), late January (spring)
Classes End: early December (autumn), mid-April (spring)
Exams: early through mid-January (autumn), early through late May (spring)
Students are responsible for staying until the end of the semester and may not leave before the final date of their semester exams. Neither ISEP nor University of Sussex can guarantee an early departure; leaving early may result in a failing exam grade and/or forfeit of credit.
Autumn term teaching ends in December, and students can leave straight away as the assessments are all online with deadlines in January. Autumn only students don’t have to do anything special in order to have this approved and it is presumed that most will leave in December. However, housing is available until the beginning of January.
MODULE SELECTION
Choose from hundreds of modules across multiple disciplines. Read some of our helpful tips when selecting your modules:
You can select modules from different levels (years) and combine modules from different subjects to construct your study programme.
- Modules are listed by subject area, although some changes may be made to module form or content.
- We recommend you don't take too many modules with a type of assessment that you may find difficult or stressful, and you should talk to your academic adviser at your home university as well as your ISEP Student Advisor before you apply.
- If the mode of assessment says 'observation,' the module will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. You will not receive a grade for the module.
- Most study abroad students take level 5 (second-year) modules but if you have a strong background in a subject, you can take level 6 (third-year) modules. However, some modules have prerequisites (included in the module description).
- You may be able to choose level 4 (first-year) modules if you want to take an introductory module in a subject you've not studied before.
- Level 4 modules roughly correspond to the US sophomore or European second year, and level 5 and 6 modules to American junior and senior levels.
You can take any combination of modules for which you are academically qualified, including a mix of arts, humanities, social sciences, science and technology modules.
