Assessment
You will be required to take exams at the end of each academic year, but some second-year and most third-year modules offer you the opportunity to be assessed through essays and a project as well as examinations. You may also choose to complete a dissertation and/or project work. The ratio of coursework to exam varies according to which modules you take, but on average is about 40:60.
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.
