Assessment method
The programme assessment strategy has been designed to assess your subject specific knowledge, cognitive and intellectual skills and transferable skills applicable to the workplace. The strategy ensures that you are provided with formative assessment opportunities throughout the programme which support your summative assessments. There is a mix of practical work (usually in the form of a portfolio), poster and viva presentations, reflective blogs, written reports and an animated piece, with dialogue, that is developed to a professional industry standard quality. Formative feedback is typically given during lectures and tutorials and summative feedback using on-line methods. The assessments can include individual or group work. The assessment criteria, where appropriate, will include assessment of presentation skills and report writing.
Entry requirements
Applicants should normally have a good honours degree (2.2 or above) or equivalent international qualifications or significantly documented relevant industry experience. A portfolio of appropriate work of a good standard is also required. Non-UK students must also meet the University's minimum English language requirements.
