During the programme, you should experience a variety of formative and summative assessment tasks which challenge a broad range of your skills and understanding. The main types of learning through assessment are categorised below:

Practice-led – You are set a brief which asks you to demonstrate your learning through the completion of predominantly skills-based exercises. These often need to be backed up by support work through the use of journals/blogs.

Presentation – Either an individual or a group talk which is specifically structured to communicate relevant information. As well as content, the performance may be assessed (e.g. how effectively you communicated and how well a group worked together)

Project proposal – A formal account of the planning and intended scope of a project, written early in the development cycle. Also known as a ‘brief’.

Report/journal – A write-up of a project using a formal and concisely structured style or the recording of the creative journey in the form of a sketchbook or blog

Essay/dissertation – A piece of writing that explores a topic in detail, including the development of your own ideas. Written in a formal, organised style usually with a minimum and maximum word limit.

Self-assessment – An opportunity to reflect on individual performance and development – often tracked through a notebook/sketchbook log

Peer assessment – Students assessing other students – often used when undertaking summative group projects as a stimulus for thinking about own performance in relation to others. Group criticisms offer a valuable opportunity for formative responses to portfolio work.

Vlog – Either an individual or a group present a video log specifically structured to communicate relevant information. As well as content, the performance may be assessed (e.g. how effectively you communicated and how well a group worked together).
