教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment:
The Research Methods modules are assessed through coursework alone. All other modules are examined through a combination of coursework and written examinations taken in May / June. To obtain an MSc, students must gain passes in six of the eight modules taken with an overall average of 50 per cent. In addition to the above, the MSc requires that a satisfactory individual project be completed. MSc students who do not pass the written examinations are only allowed to attempt the project after passing resit examinations the following May.
