Assessment

Assessments provide the opportunity to show how well you have grasped the subject matter. You will produce relevant outputs for assessment that reflect real life scenarios.

Students access course content and resource lists, and are guided through clinical topics by completing Clinical Exercises, participating in Discussion Boards and working towards Major Assignments.

The vast majority of work is self-directed following our problem-based learning approach and we do not deliver live lectures/teaching sessions. Online group facilitation sessions are offered when appropriate for eacg course.

Assessment in Years 1 and 2 will take place through coursework including Clinical Exercises, participation in the online Discussion Boards, and submission of Major Assignments such as essays and PowerPoint presentations.

In Year 3, students complete group task reports and an independent piece of enquiry and academic writing (Written Reflective Element).

All assessments are submitted online, you will not be required to come to Edinburgh to sit an exam.
