Residence Abroad: A modular approach to support students and document their progress
  Internationalisation is a key thematic area which the Higher Education Academy in Scotland is
seeking to develop. This study contributes to previous research on the benefits of studying abroad by
demonstrating how students form graduate attributes whilst abroad and how these developments can be
documented in a module set by the home university. The paper shows how this module has the additional
benefits of preparing students for their study abroad and supporting their development whilst abroad. The
research focusses on contributions made by language students of Edinburgh Napier University during their
first three months abroad in 2012 and 2013..
