Award Requirements: Extra-Curricular Hours Guidance This gives you an idea of the sort of activities you can use to complete your 70 hours. Some activities are capped; consult the last column for details. Remember: • You must undertake a minimum of 2 activities. • At least one of your activities must be undertaken abroad. • You must undertake a minimum of 40 hours of activities abroad. • You must complete 70 hours in total. • You can claim 50% of your hours from course-based work experience programmes (if on a placement year – counting hours is not needed for this activity, as you will easily exceed the 70 hours!). • This is not an exhaustive list; it has been developed to give you an idea of what can be included. • If you are involved an activity at home that is not listed then the general rule is: if you are actively involved in a project as a volunteer, or are paid to complete a task then it will count providing you are working in multi-cultural teams. • Do ask the Award team/mentors if you are unsure.
