Academic Program

The academic calendar consists of two fifteen-week semesters and then a week of final exams for each term. Units and grading are based on the U.K. system, but these will be translated to SJSU equivalencies upon return from the program. SJSU students must take 40-60 U.K. credits (equal to 12-18 SJSU units) and choose modules (courses) that correspond to the appropriate level for their degree. Academic assessments are specific to subject areas but can include essays, examinations, course work and module notebooks. For some courses 70-100% of the assessment may be based on the final examination.

Some of the course offerings include:

Courses for semester participants is primarily limited to those listed above, but some other business courses may be available, as well as foreign language courses.

Students who are participating for the full academic year will have access to many other business courses. Some academic year participants may also be eligible to join the one year "top-up" program, which would result in a degree being awarded to SJSU students by NBS.
