Assessment

We use diverse assessment methods designed to develop both disciplinary knowledge and professional skills. Following a School-wide review of assessment practices, our programmes combine academic rigour with opportunities for students to develop a broad range of capabilities, including: 

• critical thinking
• quantitative analysis
• coding and data skills
• AI literacy  
• effective verbal and written communication
• teamwork and collaboration 

Around 50% of assessments take the form of individual or group coursework, including: 

• investment reports
• policy and consulting-style case studies
• data analysis projects
• simulated trading portfolios
• presentations 

Around 50% of assessments are traditional written examinations, particularly within core modules where the rigorous assessment of economic, financial, and quantitative knowledge remains essential.
