Course Details – Assessment Method

All students will complete a Project Module, which is seen as a major contributor to the overall qualification as it involves a very high level of individual commitment with the support of highly qualified, motivated and committed lecturing staff. External examiners have continually identified the project as a particular strength of the programme. Assessment is by a series of assignments during the course and in some units there is an additional end examination. Whilst the normal route for study on this course is on a four unit per year basis, it may be possible to study a smaller number of modules per year. For further information on this subject, speak to a course tutor or visit one of our events.
