How you'll be assessed

Unit 1 and unit 3 are both internally assessed, that means that you will be assessed in the classroom. Unit 2 and unit 4 are assessed externally through a summer examination. All units carry the same weight and are combined to give an overall grade. The examinations are 90 minutes long and require students to answer both short and extended questions. Questions require students to apply their knowledge of criminology to a scenario.
