Some courses are taken part-time in blocks of concentrated study time surrounding a period of practical or work-related experience. This could mean studying for a block of a few days each month, or for a block of a few weeks during a year, or perhaps for a whole term.
Sandwich degree courses are usually courses which include an extra year of work experience (or language training) 'sandwiched' between two or three years of concentrated study. During the extra year the student usually goes on work experience with an employer, organisation or department in their subject field.
If the degree is in languages, the extra year will usually involve a trip abroad. (eg. A sandwich course in French may involve a year living and working in France.)
Sometimes the sandwich year involves an exchange with an overseas university and so may involve travel to a different country.
