Each semester you will be assessed using a range of methods including written examination papers, practical reports, presentations, essays and production of a portfolio. These are similar methods to those used in later years of the BM5/BM6 programmes, so this will help you prepare for future assessment. In order to progress from BM6 year zero you must demonstrate satisfactory performance in all eight components: four elements of coursework and four examinations. Students who fail in any component will be required to resubmit work in the case of a failed coursework component or take a supplementary examination in the case of a failed examination component.
