Assessment

How learning is monitored on your programme

To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic.

The assessments have been designed to ensure they meet the appropriate academic requirements of Level 7 while also being deeply rooted in your professional practice.

They are based on application of theory and research practice in professional contexts and require you to reflect critically on practice.

It's only applicable to the MA programme. This module provides you with the opportunity to investigate a topic of your choice relating to teaching learners with visual impairments.
