What about assessments and exams?
Teaching on our acupuncture course emphasises variety, with a central focus on academic and clinical learning. Assessments are designed to highlight individual strengths while testing essential practitioner skills, helping you track your progress in knowledge, skills, and confidence throughout your acupuncture degree course.
- Practical assessments: Regular opportunities to build competency in clinical skills like point location and needling in a supportive environment.
- Formative assessments: Informal and ungraded, providing feedback to ensure you're on the right track.
- Summative assessments: Formal and graded, contributing to your overall year-end marks.
Written assessments include reflective clinical reports, an anatomy workbook, a real-world business plan, and research projects linking evidence-based practice to your work.
There are four written exams, mostly case-based, spread across the course to test your clinical decision-making skills.
