Assessment
Most modules are assessed by written examination but there is some continuous assessment associated with specific modules. This may include essays on specialised topics or problems exercises. All students produce a 15,000-word dissertation based on their individual research project, which may be experimentally, theoretically or industrially based.
Industrially-based research topics are normally suggested by an industrial organisation, and may involve close co-operation with that organisation
