How will I study?

 Teaching methods have been designed in consultation with leading employers in the region. Many classes are based in computer workshops, focusing on student activity as a means of learning. We introduce theoretical concepts by building on concrete practical activity. You will be given opportunities to work together and develop the essential people skills to complement your technical skills. During Year 2 you will select an employability or graduate enterprise module. Either of these options will enhance your developing skills and confidence to assist you in acquiring short and long term employment.

How will I be assessed?

 You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, reports, essays and examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes both of these forms, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.
