Teaching methods - what to expect
For most of your 30 credit modules we will give you approximately 30 hours of teaching through a mixture of lectures, tutorials and presentations. We will expect you to undertake 270 hours of self-directed learning for each module.
For your Research Project module, you will have contact with a research project supervisor, and we will expect you undertake 600 hours of work, which includes time spent in the laboratory.
Assessment
- Coursework
- Examinations
You will be assessed through a combination of coursework and exams for the taught modules, but the Research Skills and Research Project modules are assessed entirely through coursework with the Research Project assessed through a dissertation. Less than a third of the final mark is based on examinations with coursework constituting the majority of your final grade.
Course structure
Courses are divided into modules. You will normally take modules totalling 180 credits.
