Assessment
Modules are assessed by a combination of continuous assessment through small practical exercises, project work, essay writing, presentations and exams.
All of our programmes are assessed in a similar way. During the first two years you will have an approximately even mix of exams and coursework, each accounting for about 50 per cent. In the third year 25 per cent of the year is taken up by the individual project and for those going on to the fourth year the group project takes up 50 per cent of the year.
You must pass your first year assessment in order to progress to the second year, but the results do not count towards your degree classification. For three-year programmes, the assessments in the second and third years contribute to your final degree classification. For four-year programmes the assessments in the second, third and fourth years all contribute to your final degree classification.
