Assessment

Assessment is through a balance of externally (170 hours) and internally (190 hours) assessed units over the two years. External assessment is of two types: written examinations for unit 1 and unit 6 and an externally set and marked task based assessment for unit 5. The written examinations will include pre-release material and synoptic context-based questions based upon all units studied. Internal assessments are based on two pieces of coursework in year 1 and one piece in year 2.
