Assessment

At the end of the two-year course, you will sit three written exams, each of 2 hours, comprising a mixture of types of questions (short & long answer, comprehension, extended response & structured) covering all taught & practical skills. Practical work is an important part of this course and you will undertake twelve required practicals, and your understanding of practical techniques will be tested in the written exams. We will also prepare you to answer questions on the critical analysis of provided experimental data & help you to learn how to plan, and then write, a synoptic essay, from a choice of two titles.
