Module Teaching & Assessment for all modules except Dissertation
The module will normally have the following assessment regime:
– Written examination: this will typically account for some 40% of the final grade and takes the form of a written examination under controlled conditions.
– Individual Essay(s): this will typically account for some 40% of the final grade and takes the form of a specialised essay. Students will be required to explore an emerging trend or topic within the theory and practice of the module discipline. This will require an extensive search of the relevant academic and practitioner-based literature and students will need to make reference to both academic and industrial/practitioner sources in their written work.

The dissertation/major project is assessed via the production of a dissertation of some 10,000 to 12,000 words in length.
Where necessary, a viva voce will be conducted in those instances where the provisional mark is considered to be a marginal pass.
