Assessment

Exams take place in the summer of the second year of the course, consisting of two exam papers each worth 40% of marks, plus a non-exam assessment which takes place over approximately 12 weeks, worth the remaining 20%. The non-exam assessment involves students deciding their own project which will involve creating a program to solve a problem, such as writing a computer game, making a mobile phone app or an investigation into machine learning.
