Assessment method
We’re at the cutting edge of engineering – both theoretical and practical – and we offer a broad range of learning environments. This includes the traditional lecture and tutorial format, student-led learning, interactive class sessions, field trips and site-visits, and a substantial element of lab and design work. Our class sized are smaller than average, meaning we can spend more time with each student. We encourage independent study, which means you take responsibility for your own learning. A variety of methods are used to assess your study, enabling you to demonstrate progress in different ways. Coursework typically includes design challenges, laboratory reports, essays and oral presentations. Formal exams include questions that require short answers, problem-solving and design. Your placement will be assessed by industrial and academic supervisors, as well as by report and oral presentation. In your final dissertation, you’re individually supported by one of our research-active members of staff.
