Assessment for Year 1

We know that every student has different strengths, so we use a range of individual and group assessment methods – from essays to presentations and assessed discussions. All of these assessments help strengthen your critical thinking and give you skills that are attractive to future employers. 

We also use formative assessments, which do not contribute to your overall mark, but do prepare you for the assessments that do. These offer an excellent opportunity to test the knowledge you have learned through your modules and strengthen the chances of better marks at the end of them.

Assessment for Year 2

Once you reach your second year in the MA programme, you’ll be moving towards even more independence in your assessment. At the culmination of your MA, you will be assessed on your dissertation-by-practice, where you’ll channel all your academic knowledge and creative skills into the making of your own audio-visual project accompanied by a supporting written portfolio.
