Assessment for this course is reflective of practices within the sector ranging from the production of technical reports to the delivery of key ideas through presentation. For those students who continue to the full MSc pathway this will culminate in the production of a Master’s dissertation project whereby students will have the opportunity to explore a topic relevant to their organisation in detail demonstrating their understanding of the concepts covered throughout their study. Assessment types have been carefully selected to support the abilities of all learners and provide practice of real-world tasks required within industrial roles.
