Assessment will be via a variety of methods including, coursework assignments, live briefs and projects.
Coursework assignments will include a mix of technical reports, coding, practical work, demonstrations and presentations. Practical work will allow you to demonstrate how you put your knowledge into practice. Through demonstrations and presentations, you’ll learn to defend and objectively appraise your own work and analyse the work of others. Presentations demonstrate that you have appropriate communication skills such that you can present, defend and clarify complex information in a coherent way, to a range of audiences, expert or otherwise. It also permits you to show you can present information that may educate others and assist in your personal development.
This is the equal consideration deadline. You can still apply after this date, but your application may not receive guaranteed consideration.
