Our teaching approach involves lectures, seminars, tutorials and workshops. Students will be expected to participate fully in group discussions and group projects. They will also have hands-on experience in computing. The learning experience for undergraduates is different to pre-degree study and we address this issue by teaching the skills necessary for degree level work through Study Skills tutorials at stages one and two. Tutorial support continues at stage three focussing on dissertation supervision.
Assessment is through a mixture of examinations and course work.
Examinations include open, pre-seen papers and closed traditional examinations. Course work involves seminar papers, presentations, group projects and a 10,000 dissertation. Full support is given to help students develop the techniques necessary for their assessed work. Career prospects Portsmouth graduates have a good record of finding employment. Students are given the opportunity within the course programme to practice and develop various skills relevant for future employment.
