Assessment

40% of the course will be externally assessed, through three examinations and one extended controlled assessment task, which is set and marked externally. There are nine coursework based units that entail real-life, work-based case studies and projects. The assessment process is ongoing, so it allows you to analyse and improve your own performance through your course in much the same way as you would in a real workplace. The projects, exams and controlled assessments that you undertake form the basis of your unit results which are graded as a pass, merit or distinction.Students will attend a work experience placement one day per week to further enhance their knowledge and skills.
