Learning and teaching
The learning and teaching on the course has been constructed to align with activities performed in industry, preparing you to be work-ready immediately after you finish.

This course will challenge you to think creatively, solve problems and develop strong communication and teamwork skills. You’ll experience a wide range of teaching methods, including formal lectures, interactive workshops, practical classes and industry site visits. There are no exams, all the assessment is performed by in-course assignments with a viva (on your experimental work) as part of the practical skills module.

You’ll use real-life, industry specific case studies exclusively to illustrate theoretical and practical concepts and will have multiple opportunities to work in teams, including the opportunity to lead a team. A wide range of ‘authentic’ assignments will be used that students will experience in the workplace including submissions to regulatory authorities, client reports and presentations to industry panel members.
