Course Details – Assessment Method

Teaching methods include lectures, tutorials, small group workshops and practical classes. Assessment methods: for most modules, end-of-module exams contribute 50 to 60 per cent towards the overall mark. Coursework methods include practical classes, essays, group exercises, poster presentations and reports. In the Year 3 project, you can produce either a laboratory and/or field-based project, or a library-based dissertation. You may be able to undertake the project in a laboratory or organisation outside the University.

T Levels T Levels are an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other further education courses. T Level focuses on vocational skills and can help students into skilled employment, higher education and/or apprenticeships. Students who study T Level spend 80% of the course in the classroom, learning the skills that employers need. The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement, where they put these skills into action. T Levels are the equivalent to three A levels and we recognise the UCAS tariff points they attract in line with other qualifications that aid progression to higher education.
