Integrated assessment.

Integrated assessment appropriately incorporated to ensure that the purpose of the qualification is achieved:

Formative assessment practises that will be implemented:

Regular meetings with supervisor to assess progress of research.
Continuous assessment, comment and guidance by supervisors(s).
Two seminars to members of the faculty, supervisor(s) and colleagues (optional).
Peer discussion groups with fellow students when required if practical.

Summative assessment practises that will implemented:

Integrated assessment, focusing on the achievement of the exit-level outcomes, will be done by means of examination of thesis by at least two external examiners and supervisor(s).
