Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.
This module consolidates the skills from the programme in the production of a final project which comprises one of the following. There are three routes available to students for their final project:
1) A research dissertation
2) A work-based learning project with a portfolio
3) An artefact (that could be a portfolio).
All routes involve detailed research and the production of either a dissertation, portfolio or artefact in conjunction with University supervision and relevant sources/experts/work partner/industry professionals.

The professional graduate work interview measures the capacity to communicate within a realistic work context the skills and achievements in the portfolio.
