Assessment

Assessment is aligned to the learning outcomes of each module, so students will be assessed through a variety of methods dependent on the module and the level of the programme. These may include visual and creative responses such as portfolios of research, design development, experimental samples and final designs or artefacts; or text and image, blogs, short videos, presentations, and more traditional formats such as essays, reports and occasional exams. In year 1 assessments focus on the student’s understanding and acquisition of new knowledge and practical, digital, academic and professional skills.
