Assessment

The way in which you are assessed will vary according to the learning outcomes of each module and we design our assessment strategies to appeal to a variety of student learning styles. It is our aim to develop our students not just in terms of technical/scientific ability, but also to provide you with opportunities to develop the essential “soft” skills highly valued by employers. These skills include creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience, flexibility, entrepreneurship, and time management. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in the Student Handbook which is provided to all students during their first year induction.

Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments.

Altri vengono valutati tramite una combinazione di corsi e esami di fine semestre. Esempi di corsi includono casi di studio reali del settore alimentare, presentazioni video in stile "Dragon's Den", relazioni pratiche, saggi, quiz online, dibattiti, presentazione di un piano aziendale a un gruppo di esperti del settore e sviluppo di un prodotto alimentare innovativo basato su un briefing tecnico. Alcune valutazioni vengono completate su base individuale per studente, mentre altre prevedono il lavoro in team con i compagni di classe.

Studying for a Food Science and Nutrition with Professional Studies degree at Queen's will assist you in developing the core skills and employment-related experiences that are valued by employers, professional organizations, and academic institutions.
