How will I be assessed?

100% Coursework, there are no written examinations.

Each credit-rated module is assessed by an assignment, often work or case-based. There are no formal examinations. This ensures that learning is context-specific and transferable. Assessments have a strong practical and professional orientation, enabling students to develop a range of practical management skills relevant to senior roles in their organisation. Work-based assignments are used where relevant and practical, to help students relate their learning to their work environment, increase knowledge of that environment, help raise their profile and ensure their sponsor gains immediate and practical benefits.
