The course is organized around an overseas study tour (involving at least 120 hours of study) which will involve preparatory activities, a structured programme of academic work, such as lectures and seminars in a host university, and field trips to observe and experience relevant sites and activities in a selected Asian or other overseas country. Specified pre- and post-tour activities prepare for and enhance the learning experience from the tour, which is linked to programme goals and prior learning on the programme. Specific content will depend upon the focus and location of the tour, and will provide an opportunity to study social, political economic, cultural and/or language issues in a selected Asian or other overseas country relevant to the programme, as well as international relations and organizations. Tours will normally take place outside teaching weeks in Semesters A and B.
