Modules
Students will study a number of compulsory modules but can also choose from optional modules to tailor their degree to their own particular interests.
Assessment method
At the end of each year you will be assessed on the basis of coursework and, for some modules, project and examination results. For each module you will have the chance to test your skills with two practice or “formative” assignments. That assignment might be a coursework essay or project or an exam. Your final year is assessed by coursework, document work, a special subject dissertation and examinations on your special subject in the period after Easter. The balance of assessment by coursework and exam depends on the modules you choose, but on average the MSc is 80% coursework and 20% exam.
