Assessment for Year 1

You will be assessed through a variety of methods, which will vary greatly depending on your academic choices. During your first year, assessment methods could include coursework, exams, group work, written reports, or presentations. At the beginning of each module, you will be given detailed information on how and when you’ll be assessed.  

The core module assessment will be a year-long coursework portfolio based on the theoretical ideas that you have explored during your degree so far. 

Feedback 
Support will be on hand throughout your time as a Liberal Arts student at UEA, and we are committed to providing regular and appropriate feedback on your academic progress and achievement in order to enable you to reflect upon, and plan, your academic and skills development effectively.

Assessment for Year 2

As with year one, you will complete different types of assessment depending on which modules you choose for your major and minor pathways. The types of assessment will build on those you have experienced in your first year, and similarly might include written reports, coursework, exams, work produced within a group setting, or presentations. As you progress into the second year of your degree, you’ll develop as a self-motivated researcher and independent thinker. 

Your core module will be assessed through an interdisciplinary practice-based project, deriving from the conclusions drawn during your classes. The assessment will allow you to showcase your practical, problem solving, analytical skills whilst also honing your interdisciplinary knowledge.

Assessment for Year 4

In your final year of your Liberal Arts degree, you’ll choose increasingly more specialised modules, taught by staff who are experts in their field. In turn, your assessments will allow you to focus on the subjects and areas which are of greatest interest to you. You’ll have the opportunity to undertake an Independent Research Project which aligns with the main topics you have investigated during your degree. This project will bring together the knowledge and expertise that you have acquired through your major and minor pathways.

Important Information

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring and review of modules. Where this activity leads to significant change to a programme and modules, the University will endeavour to consult with affected students. The University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff. Availability of optional modules may be restricted owing to timetabling, lack of demand, or limited places. Where this is the case, you will be asked to make alternative module choices and you will be supported during this process.
