There are two assessments in each module:
• A 2,000 word assignment (30% of module mark)
• A three hour examination at the end of the module (70% of module mark)
A draft of the assignment can be submitted approximately half way through the module in order to get feedback. The final version of the assignment must be submitted by the end of the module.
The examinations involve a mix of traditional examination questions and case studies. In some instances a case study may be provided in advance of the examination in order that students can undertake background reading.
After passing the four modules the programme is completed by the submission of a 13,000 word project report.
