Program delivery
Each course typically involves three to four contact hours per week over a 12-week semester, except the Research Project or Extended Research Project in the Summer semester which require self-directed learning with academic supervision, and the internship which requires part-time work placement for two-three months (minimum of 200 hours).
The balance of assessment by examination, practical assessment and assessment by coursework will vary for each programme and will also depend on the optional electives you choose each year and may be subject to change. The methods of assessment can involve the use of term-papers, portfolios of work, quizzes, mid-semester and final exams as well as student presentations and general class discussion. Not every component applies to every course, but most do relate to many of the classes that are offered. Many of our courses involve a site visit or require attendance at a public lecture as well.
The approximate percentage of the broad assessment types for the programme, based on 2024/25 entry is as follows.
Core:
- Coursework 63%, Practical 34% and Examination 3%
