As in all Universities, Brunel assessments are subject to review by external examiners to ensure that common standards are maintained across all degrees. A variety of assessment methods are used reflecting the variation in subject studies. These include examinations, essays, presentations, portfolios, case studies, seminar papers, group presentations and practical work. Researched projects carry considerable weight in final assessments. You will be assessed on each fieldwork placement and must pass all of these to graduate.
Many students find employment in a setting in which they have had a placement.
2 and 20 weeks at level 3. Some placements are sited locally and others at some distance from Brunel. Some students have clinical experience in appropriate locations in Europe as part of an exchange programme. Several different placements are arranged, to ensure you have a variety of clinical experience. This will include working with people with mental health problems, physical disabilities, children, older people, in hospitals and in the community.
