Assessment

The programme strives to assess in the context of the requirements of a qualified physiotherapist.

Assessment of students involves a wide range of tasks, and incorporates both formative assessment (primarily to help you develop) and summative assessment (the marks contribute to your end of year mark / degree classification).

The type of assessment is broad in order to accommodate different learning styles, but also to determine if you have the necessary knowledge, attitude and skills to be awarded a degree in physiotherapy.

All assessments take place throughout the academic year at strategic times in order to avoid a heavy assessment load at the end of each academic year, but also for students to receive feedback on one assessment and learn from it before progressing onto the next. Learning and teaching activities are specifically planned to prepare students for assessment.

Students with a disability or dyslexia can receive support for their learning, teaching and assessment.
