Summary of Relevant School Regulations
(Further information is in the UG handbook)
Attendance at classes
SPAIS takes attendance and participation in classes very seriously. Seminars form an essential part of your
learning and you need to make sure you arrive on time, have done the required reading and participate fully.
Attendance at all seminars is monitored, with absence only condoned in cases of illness or for other
exceptional reasons.
If you are unable to attend a seminar you must inform your seminar tutor, as well as email [email protected]. You should also provide evidence to explain your absence, such as a selfcertification and/or medical note, counselling letter or other official document. If you are unable to provide
evidence then please still email [email protected] to explain why you are unable to attend. If you
are ill or are experiencing some other kind of difficulty which is preventing you from attending seminars for a
prolonged period, please inform your personal tutor, the Undergraduate Office or the Student Administration
Manager.
Requirements for credit points
In order to be awarded credit points for the unit, you must achieve:

Satisfactory attendance in classes, or satisfactory completion of catch up work in lieu of poor
attendance

Satisfactory formative assessment

An overall mark of 40 or above in the summative assessment/s. In some circumstances, a mark of 35
or above can be awarded credit points.
Presentation of written work
Coursework must be word-processed. As a guide, use a clear, easy-to-read font such as Arial or Times New
Roman, in at least 11pt. You may double–space or single–space your essays as you prefer. Your tutor will let
you know if they have a preference.
All pages should be numbered.
Ensure that the essay title appears on the first page.
All pages should include headers containing the following information:
Formative work
Name: e.g. Joe Bloggs
Unit: e.g. SOCI10004
Seminar Tutor: e.g. Dr J. Haynes
Word Count: e.g. 1500 words
Summative work
**Candidate Number**: e.g. 12345
Unit: e.g. SOCI10004
Seminar Tutor: e.g. Dr J. Haynes
Word Count: e.g. 3000 words
Candidate numbers are required on summative work in order to ensure that marking is anonymous. Note that
your candidate number is not the same as your student number.
Assessment length
Each piece of coursework must not exceed the stipulated maximum length for the assignment (the ‘word
count’) listed in the unit guide. Summative work that exceeds the maximum length will be subject to penalties.
The word count is absolute (there is no 10% leeway, as commonly rumoured). Five marks will be deducted
for every 100 words or part thereof over the word limit. Thus, an essay that is 1 word over the word limit will
be penalised 5 marks; an essay that is 101 words over the word limit will be penalised 10 marks, and so on.
3
The word count includes all text, numbers, footnotes/endnotes, Harvard referencing in the body of the text
and direct quotes. It excludes, the title, candidate number, bibliography, and appendices. However,
appendices should only be used for reproducing documents, not additional text written by you.
Referencing and plagiarism
Where sources are used they must be cited using the Harvard referencing system. Inadequate referencing is
likely to result in penalties being imposed. See the Study Skills Guide for advice on referencing and how poor
referencing/plagiarism are processed. Unless otherwise stated, essays must contain a bibliography.
Extensions
Extensions to coursework deadlines will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. If you want to request
an extension, complete an extension request form (available at Blackboard/SPAIS_UG Administration/forms
to download and School policies) and submit the form with your evidence (e.g. self-certification, medical
certificate, death certificate, or hospital letter) to Catherine Foster in the Undergraduate Office.
Extension requests cannot be submitted by email, and will not be considered if there is no supporting
evidence. If you are waiting for evidence then you can submit the form and state that it has been requested.
All extension requests should be submitted at least 72 hours prior to the assessment deadline. If the
circumstance occurs after this point, then please either telephone or see the Student Administration Manager
in person. In her absence you can contact Catherine Foster in the UG Office, again in person or by telephone.
Extensions can only be granted by the Student Administration Manager. They cannot be granted by unit
convenors or seminar tutors.
You will receive an email to confirm whether your extension request has been granted.
Submitting essays
Formative essays
Summative essays
Unless otherwise stated in the unit
guide, formative essays are submitted
as hard copy only to the drop-box in the
basement of 11 Priory Road.
All summative essay submissions must
be submitted as both a hard copy to the
drop-box in the basement of 11 Priory
Road, and electronically via Blackboard.
Electronic copies enable an efficient system of receipting, providing the student and the School with a record
of exactly when an essay was submitted. It also enables the School to systematically check the length of
submitted essays and to safeguard against plagiarism.
Paper copies are required to expedite the marking process. They enable us to distribute essays to markers
on the day of submission rather than requiring an additional two or three days for printing.
Hard copies and, where appropriate, electronic versions, must be submitted by 11am on the relevant deadline.
For summative work, both the hard copy and the electronic copy must be submitted by 11am.
Late Submissions
Penalties are imposed for work submitted late without an approved extension. Any kind of computer/electronic
failure is not accepted as a valid reason for an extension, so make sure you back up your work on another
computer, memory stick or in the cloud (e.g. Google Drive or Dropbox). Also ensure that the clock on your
computer is correct, and make sure that you leave yourself enough time to submit a hard copy to 11 Priory
Road by the deadline.
The following schema of marks deduction for late/non-submission is applied to both formative work and the
electronic version of summative work:
Up to 24 hours late, or part thereof
For each additional 24 hours late, or part
thereof
Penalty of 10 marks
A further 5 marks deduction for each 24 hours, or part
thereof
4
Assessment submitted over one week late




Treated as a non-submission: fail and mark of zero
recorded. This will be noted on your transcript.
The 24 hour period runs from the deadline for submission, and includes Saturdays, Sundays, bank
holidays and university closure days.
If an essay submitted less than one week late fails solely due to the imposition of a late penalty, then
the mark will be capped at 40.
If a fail due to non-submission is recorded, you will have the opportunity to submit the essay as a
second attempt for a capped mark of 40 in order to receive credit points for the unit.
Marks and feedback for a summative essay will not be released until an electronic copy has been
submitted, even if a paper copy was submitted on time.
Non/late submission of hard copy versions of summative assessments
No marks deduction will be incurred If the hard copy of a summative assessment is submitted late as long as
the electronic version is submitted on time. However, the return of marks and feedback will be delayed
Paper copy submitted up to 1 week late
returned 4 weeks after the original deadline
Paper copy submitted up to 2 weeks late
returned at the end of the Teaching Block
Paper copy submitted more than 2 week late
or not at all
returned at the end of the academic year
Marks and feedback
In addition to an overall mark, students will receive written feedback on their assessed work.
The process of marking and providing detailed feedback is a labour-intensive one, with most 2-3000 word
essays taking at least half an hour to assess and comment upon. Summative work also needs to be checked
for plagiarism and length and moderated by a second member of staff to ensure marking is fair and consistent.
For these reasons, the University regulations are that feedback will be returned to students within three weeks
of the submission deadline.
If work is submitted late, then it may not be possible to return feedback within the three week period.
Fails and resits
If you fail the unit overall, you will normally be required to resubmit or resit. In units where there are two pieces
of summative assessment, you will normally only have to re-sit/resubmit the highest-weighted piece of
assessment.
Exam resits only take place once a year, in late August/early September. If you have to re-sit an exam then
you will need to be available during this period. If you are not available to take a resit examination, then you
will be required to take a supplementary year in order to retake the unit.

Unit description
The aim of this unit is to give students an in-depth understanding of one of the most dynamic areas of
European integration: foreign and security policies. The unit will seek to establish a critical appreciation of
current debates about European foreign policy cooperation; the increasing role of EU as a global actor;
challenges relating to the projection of the EU’s identity and values beyond its contested borders; and the
impact of EU policies on national foreign policies and vice versa. The unit will provide an empirically
informed understanding of the increasing international role of the EU across a number of policies, including
6
trade, development, the environment, and foreign and security policies. In addition, the unit will take a
closer look at transatlantic relations and Europe’s relations with China. As well as providing an overview
of current developments in EU foreign policy, this unit will allow you to study in depth the impact of
European policies on a particular European state.

Seminar schedule
Week 1: Introduction: Europe as a global actor
Week 2: Speaking with one voice? The emergence of a common foreign policy
Week 3: The Europeanisation of national foreign and security policies
Week 4: The EU as an economic power
Week 5: Europe and the developing world

Week 7: The EU and global environmental politics
Week 8: Europeans in uniform: the EU’s security and defence policy
Week 9: Securing the borders: terrorism, immigration and organised crime
Week 10: Transatlantic relations
Week 11: The EU in an increasing multipolar world
Week 12: Reading week: simulation exercise
Coursework
The essay will focus on a foreign policy issue faced by the country that you have chosen for the simulation
exercise. The essay question will be circulated to students in class.
The purpose of this exercise is to allow you to examine the position of a country on a specific issue, as
well as the impact of the EU’s foreign policy on national foreign policy. This exercise should also allow
you to accumulate a considerable amount of empirical data to actively participate in the simulation
exercise and to make a valuable contribution. To help you in your research, useful academic references
and internet links will be made available on Blackboard.
During the first seminar in week one I will go through the syllabus with you and explain what the School
expectations are regarding essays. I have listed some useful suggestions below that can be of reference
when you prepare the essay for this unit.
To write a good essay make sure that you observe the following principles:
 Answer the question (don’t just describe and summarise);
 explain in the introduction the context of the question, your basic argument and how the essay
will proceed step by step;
 signpost the structure throughout the essay, indicating the logical progression from paragraph to
paragraph and section to section.
 The essay must contain a mix of theoretical and empirical material and must address the
question directly and relevantly.

Although the required and supplementary reading indicated below is grouped in terms of weeks, the essay
question is not pitched to fit the weekly topics. Rather, the intention is to get you to integrate material
across the unit.
Seminar topics, required and recommended reading
Week 1: Introduction: Europe as a global actor
Learning Outcome: In this session the tutor will talk to you about the content of the unit, go through this
syllabus with you to ensure that everything is clear, and allocate country cases for the essay and
simulation exercise. This seminar will provide an overview about the historical evolution of EU external
policies. There will be a general discussion about the successes and failures of the EU as a global actor.
Topics for Discussion: How can we explain the emergence and impact of European foreign policy?
Has the EU become a global actor? If not, what have been the main obstacles?

Week 3: The Europeanisation of national foreign policies
10
Learning Outcome: To understand the application of Europeanisation studies to the foreign and security
policies of EU member states, and how the Common Foreign and Security Policy has shaped and has
been shaped by the member states.

had on national foreign and security policies? How have national foreign and security policies been
shaped by developments at the EU level? Why does policy convergence take place in some countries
and in some sectors, but not in others? How have EU member states uploaded their national interests on
to the EU level?

Week 11 European foreign policy in a multipolar world
In this session we will explore the role of the EU as a global actor in an increasing multipolar world. In
particular, we will focus on the bilateral relations of the EU with other key global players such as China.
Learning Outcomes: To develop an understanding of the role of the EU in a multipolar world. To
critically evaluate the response of the EU to the rise of the BRICS and China in particular.
