Assessment
The assessment of learning outcomes and skills at level 3 builds on previous years, with students demonstrating greater independence in their approaches to assessment through modules. Many assessment points require students to work independently in research-based projects, bringing together knowledge and skills developed through the programme that allow students a greater degree of choice or to take different assessment pathways depending on their interests and strengths.
