A minimum of 48 UCAS points (excluding Functional Skills) in an appropriate discipline: DD from A levels to include mathematics and a technology, engineering or science-based subject; PPP from Extended Diploma, MP from Diploma, MM from 90 Credit Diploma in a science or technology-based subject, including passes in mathematics; GCSE Requirements - English Language and Mathematics GCSEs at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent qualifications, such as Functional Skills at Level 2).

Various modes of assessment will be used in different modules to ensure all aspects of learning are assessed and that you are competent in different forms of demonstrating your knowledge. These will range from real world case studies, live presentations and briefing sessions, written assessments, design projects and written examinations. You will be supported in the preparation for assessments via readily available tutorial sessions and tutor support.

Most courses are assessed via a combination of coursework, exams and practical assessments. Exams are formal, timed written assessments, carried out in a controlled environment and overseen by one or more invigilators. Coursework differs from exams in that it is usually non-timed and carried out independently. Practical assessments involve observation of your practical skills and competencies by a trained assessor. Please contact us for further details about the course.
