On completing the units, you will be given final feedback and you will be awarded a pass, merit or distinction at the end of each unit (marks can be checked through internal inspection and external verification procedures at set points in the year). There are two practical assessments where you will be supported in the research and development of your idea, before completing a final piece under examination conditions.
