All modules on the BA are assessed and must be passed. However, assessment in the first year does not count towards the final award classification. Assessment is by a mix of coursework and examination. Coursework includes essays, research reports, reflective reports, group and seminar presentations and a final year project. Assessment methods vary across the degree according to the learning outcomes of the individual module.
