Assessment

- Unit 1 and Unit 8 are internally assessed coursework units. Students complete assignments which are then graded as either a Pass, Merit or Distinction. - Unit 2 is an externally assessed assignment task. Students receive an assignment brief from the exam board two weeks before the assessment to carry out research and then complete a three-hour supervised assessment. - Unit 3 is a two-hour written exam. Points are awarded for the grade achieved in each unit. The points are then combined to give an overall final grade for the course of either a Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction*.
