Programme structure

We think it’s important that you are assessed in a number of different ways during your course. These will include continuous assessment, in-class tests, examinations, laboratory exercises and project work. This will enable us to appraise your all-round ability and it also gives you the best opportunity to excel.

Your final assessment is based on 27 per cent written exam, 65 per cent course work, and 8 per cent practical exam.
This course can also be studied on a part-time basis, which would take you five years to complete.
