This set of resources are intended to be used in conjunction with the website www.realie.org which has been set up by and for students to support them in getting the most out of periods of residence abroad in terms of describing and extending their employability skills. There are two resources (with activities) for each year of study where students are engaged on a four year programme of study which includes one year of residence abroad. They were created as part of the HEA-funded REALIE project. It also includes a questionnaire designed for and by undergraduate students to collect feedback on the employability value of the year abroad.
