The programme alongside the academic expectations of a honours degree also has an emphasis on developing practical skills; therefore it involves scheduled sessions to allow students to learn via demonstration and supervised practice. Employability skills are embedded throughout the programme from specific work placements, the development of practical skills in taught sessions and the development of industry standard design skills and technical competencies. At Level 4 normally a standard of 60 hours of contact is undertaken per module, assessment is normally a mix of formally scheduled examination (30%) and coursework (70%) including standard assignments, lab reports; design projects; portfolios designed to assess a range of skills
