Assessment

Assessment is comprised of three examinations at the end of two years of study. There is no coursework element. Examination sessions are held in June. You will also take internal assessments periodically that the Physics Department will use to monitor your progress and determine your current working grade. Data from these assessments will be analysed to identify students who require extra support.
