Students will be working towards the subject specific and skills learning outcomes by engaging with a variety of
approaches to assessment, which will depend on the modules that they will take. At Level 3, all students will work on
one major independent research project. At Level 3, assessment methods will typically include coursework (essays, commentaries), oral presentations, group projects, the production of podcasts and other digital artefacts. All compulsory assessments will be produced and marked in English even though they might expose you to material and sources in other languages. Students might have the opportunity to engage with assessments in another language, from coursework and digital artifacts to oral presentation and exams.
