Assessment
How learning is monitored on your programme
To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic.
The programme’s assessment strategy uses a wide range of assessment methods to ensure that you are able to demonstrate your existing and emerging knowledge of mental health.
We have designed the assessment tasks to enable you to enhance your learning and to encourage robust feedback processes from peers and academics alike.
There is a strong focus on methods that relate to reflexivity, policy and practice and consideration of ‘real-world’ mental health issues.
There are also opportunities for diagnostic assessment to enable you to anticipate, identify and action plan around your specific developmental needs.
This combined approach helps us to ensure that the assessment tasks are relevant and meaningful to you personally.
