Assessment method

Assessment is primarily in the form of coursework (assessed essays, policy and research reports, group presentations and other assignments) unseen examinations and a final-year project. The assessment weighting for year one is 10%, year two is 30% and year 3 is 60%. The balance of assessment by examination, practical examination and assessment by coursework will to some extent depend on the optional modules you choose.
