The taught material will typically be assessed via:

• a number of fortnightly problem sheets covering the material in each module
• group presentations
• a written examination of 2-2.5 hour duration at the end of each semester
• case-studies following visits to offsite companies and businesses (typically ~3000 words) and short reports (~1500 words)
• a final project dissertation (~15000 words) and conference-style final project presentation to all the students on the programme.
