Assessment method
People shine in different ways, and we want everybody to have the best possible chance of success. We believe in ‘authentic assessment’, which means measuring your progress based on the everyday things you’ll actually be doing in the industry — not essays and dissertations. This is an active ‘doing’ degree, not a passive writing one, and that ‘doing’ covers everything from perfecting your presentation and pitching skills, to the creative evolution of your online portfolio, to mastering new technical skills in the art of visual storytelling. These are the kinds of things you’ll be assessed on, all through the course. Year 1: coursework (100%) Year 2: coursework (87%), practical assessment (13%) Year 3: coursework (45%), practical assessment (55%)

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university. We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.
