Course Details – Assessment Method

Assessment is based on examination and coursework. Marks are weighted in a 1:3:6 ratio for the three years of study to produce an overall aggregate. You will be assessed on the following types: - Set exercises or coursework, which you take home and complete with the aid of your notes. - Formal unseen written examinations every year. - Class or online tests. - Group assessments, such as written reports, also form the basis of assessment for some modules. In the third year of your degree, a core module consists of a group project. The group is assessed by a group written report and an individual presentation on the project. Year 1 Written examination: 78% ∙ Coursework: 22% Year 2 Written examination: 80% ∙ Coursework: 20% Year 3 Written examination: 70% ∙ Coursework: 30%
