This may involve a tutorial or some type of work students may need to complete on the materials so that module leaders can assess learning and provide feedback.

We will assess your progress and attainment on all modules you take on the programme through a range of techniques, which includes essays, portfolios, dissertation projects and online/on campus examinations. However, these differ from module to module.
