Learning and assessment

Tendrás una combinación de conferencias, seminarios, prácticas de laboratorio, talleres, estudios de casos y estudio dirigido. El estudio dirigido incluirá la lectura dirigida de libros de texto seleccionados, literatura de fuentes específicas y materiales de aprendizaje abierto, materiales dirigidos basados en la Web, redacción de informes y otras tareas. También habrá un proyecto/disertación individual.

You will be assessed via written closed-book examinations using constructed (essays, short answers) and selected response (MCQ) questions and a variety of coursework assignments, including laboratory reports, oral presentations and dissertations.

Involvement in the laboratory, small-group workshops, case-based work and projects (individual and small group) will also be part of your assessment. You will be assessed by critical appraisal, case analysis and critique, case presentations, laboratory reports and dissertations.

Career support

The University is committed to helping students develop and enhance employability and this is an integral part of many programmes. Specialist support is available throughout the course from Career and Employability Services including help to find part-time work while studying, placements, vacation work and graduate vacancies. Students are encouraged to access this support at an early stage and to use the extensive resources on the Careers website.

Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programmes there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.
