Assessment method

Assessment varies depending on the modules you choose, but will usually include a combination of exams and coursework. We understand that students perform differently depending on the type of assessment they are given and so a range of assessment methods is used on the programme. These include written assignments (essays/reports, individual/group), exams (closed and open book), practical assessments, individual and group presentations, portfolios, reflective logs and the final year live consultancy project. The university policy is to provide feedback within 15 working days for coursework, and the opportunity for individual follow-up with your tutor. We believe that constructive feedback is vital in helping you identify your strengths as well as the areas where you may need to develop further.
