Assessment

There are two stages of assessment: at the end of the fist year to determine eligibility for progression; and at the end of the programme of research to determine the outcome of the project.

The final examination is in three principal parts:

• The submission of a body of work that embodies the contribution to knowledge and understanding, normally by exhibition
• A reflective analysis of the theoretical and historical context of the research
• A critical review of the process of the research.

Students also submit a brief summary of the contribution to knowledge and understanding together with documentation of the work, and participate in a viva voce examination. All elements of the examination must be passed. The submission is examined with reference to the initial aims of the research project. The full examination requirements are specified in the regulations.
