Course Details – Assessment Method
To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme.
Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic. Assessment is through a combination of practice placements, exams, essays and assignments and presentations.
There will also be clinical assessment, which will be undertaken whilst in clinical practice where you will be assessed by practice supervisors and assessors. You will be offered feedback at various points during the course and support will always be readily available from your individual module tutors should you need advice or guidance at any time.
We believe that constructive feedback is vital in helping you identify your strengths as well as the areas where you may need to put in more work.
