FORMAT AND ASSESSMENT
This Masters programme is assessed through a combination of assignments, written examinations, clinical case presentations and a dissertation. In the first two years, most modules within the programme are assessed by a combination of 60 per cent written examination and 40 per cent written assignments. Each year you will receive an assignment schedule to follow for the year and must complete four assignments from each module between January and August to be entered into the end of year exams. Exams are usually held in early October and can be taken in the UK or, for overseas students, at centres in the student's country of residence. In Year two there is also a clinical module which is assessed by submission of four clinical cases only. In the final year, you will be allocated a supervisor and undertake a dissertation or project between January and September. The dissertation provides the mark for Year 3.
