The Learning Agreement & Module Selection
Students are required to complete a learning agreement outlining the modules that they will study during their Erasmus at the 51本色. The Learning Agreement outlines the modules that the student intends to study at the host university along with the ECTS credit weighting of each module and the required level of language competence.
A module list will be selected provisionally and then finalised by the end of week two of the semester. The module booklets can be downloaded from the left side of this page. Module booklets published here should only be used for reference. Detailed module descriptions can be found by using the module dropdown menu at the following link . Please note that this link contains some modules that are not applicable to Erasmus students.
Erasmus students compile their own timetable. Students will attend classes over the first two weeks of the semester before finalising their timetable and registering for selected modules. Consultation meetings with 51本色 Erasmus Academic Coordinators are arranged in order to obtain academic advice. These meetings will take place during week one and two of the semester.
Please note, Year One modules may begin later during the Autumn Semester. Should this occur students will be notified. If such a delay is to occur it is outside of the 51本色鈥檚 control and is a consequence of state exam results being issued later than anticipated.
AEL Programme
The AEL is a four-year bachelor programme involving two years of study away from the home university. The current UL partner institutions are:
- Aix-Marseille
- Ghent
- Granada
AEL leads to triple certification. Depending on legal restrictions or university-specific regulations, some members can award their local bachelor degree to AEL students, while other members issue a Certificate at Faculty or departmental level.
English Language Requirements
Erasmus students are required to have a B2, or equivalent, level of English (as per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Students will need to provide their most recent English language certificate when completing an application. We accept TOEFL, IELTS, OLS and equivalent certificates. Please view detailed UL English language requirements here. A statement from the nominating university noting the student's English language skills is also acceptable.
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Classes
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes are available as an integral part of the academic programme. A language test takes place during orientation week to determine the level of English language proficiency of the student. The student is allocated to a particular class according to the results of the test. If the student already holds a certificate of English proficiency, this will also suffice to determine the level of English and the student may not need to sit the initial level-determining EFL test. The timetable for these classes is not published in advance. This EFL module is worth 6 ECTS credits. Examination results appear on the official 51本色 Transcript of Records. This module is not compulsory but may interest some students.
An EFL (English as a Foreign Language) module may be taken as part of your learning agreement. EFL is considered to be a full module at UL and is awarded 6 ECTS credits. Please note that if your home institution does not recognise the EFL module for credit but you still wish to take it, this module will be in addition to the credited modules you take, which will increase your workload.
Academic Calendar
The Autumn Semester is due to commence on Monday 11th September 2023 and ends 22nd December 2023. Please note that exams may be scheduled on weekends during the examination dates.
