Course programme

Modular structure In general, this course sets assessment tasks, which lead to learning activities that are appropriate to achieve the core learning outcomes of each unit and this course. The assessment methods used range from traditional methods for assessing knowledge and skills (in particular exams and writing essays), to activities of practice-based research (e.g., music composition and production, computer software development). It also includes assessment methods designed to train core skills that the University expects all courses to emphasis and focus on (e.g., presentations for practicing communication). This is a degree course that is not accredited by any external body, and so the only assessments will be those set by the academic team relating directly to the degree qualification.
