Assessment Code of Practice:
The Assessment Code of Practice describes University standards of practice for the design, delivery and quality assurance of assessment, and acts as a key reference document for assessment-related policies.
This document is written at a general University level and complements Faculty and subject-level policies and strategies which may be more nuanced for specific discipline areas.
The code does not deal with the assessment of research degrees.
