Hiya!

Thanks for your question, and it is great to hear that you are interested in Biomedical Science and potentially at De Montfort University 😃

Regarding Assessments each topic or module will have a main assessment at the end of the module block. These assessments are based on real-world application of your skills and try best to pre-pare you for the world of work. These assessments include portfolios, presentations, case studies, lab reports, research papers, as well as quizzes and exams.

From contacting a friend who studies Medical Science at DMU, which is similar in assessment styles they said it depends on the module block as sometimes it could be 50% exam and 50% coursework. However this can vary and as said above be different depending on the block.

If you would like to try and find out specifics I would suggest contacting the faculty for Biomedical Science as they may be able to help further 😃
