Course programme

You are assessed partly on your coursework and partly on a final exam. Your learning is split into modules over the two years with module one being externally assessed and accounts for 50 per cent of the total marks in the form of a two and a half hour exam. Module two, which is a practical based module, is internally assessed and carries 50 per cent of the weighting. Modules three and four carry equal weighting. There are some internal assessments applicable to some of the modules.
