Assessment

Industrial Placements: Assessed on Pass/Fail basis according to the module specification for SOEE8001 Professional Placement, including:
- demonstrating the ability to apply a broad range of aspects of geological sciences;
- work that draws on a wide variety of material;
- the ability to evaluate and criticise received opinion;
- evidence of an ability to conduct independent, in depth enquiry within geological sciences;
- work that is typically both evaluative and creative.

SOEE8001 will not contribute to the degree classification. This will be determined from the Level 2 and Level 3 marks as in the case of the 3-year degree.

Students who fail SOEE8001 will not qualify for the award of the degree with Industrial Placement and will be transferred back to the relevant BSc Honours programme to take the Year 3 modules in their final year.
