How assessments and credits work

If you study abroad for a semester you will be expected to take an equivalent amount of credits at the university you visit. In general, this will be 60 credits per term.

You are expected to study and take all the appropriate assessments for your modules abroad.

You will be graded for your modules abroad according to your host university's grading system.

Once you have finished your study abroad period, your host university will issue a transcript to the Global Opportunities team at Goldsmiths. The team will then convert the grades using the conversion tables and send this to Registry to upload on to your record.

An average of all your grades achieved abroad will be calculated, and you will receive one overall grade for your study abroad term worth the amount of credits that you took.

This will then feature on your transcript.

If you’re taking part in short term study abroad then this won’t count towards your degree meaning you won’t receive credits, but this can be added to your HEAR for employers to see.
