The MA International Business course offers numerous opportunities to test your knowledge and comprehension informally through ‘formative’ assessments. Formative assessments will be conducted prior to the formal’summative’ assessments, which will decide your final grades.

Each module typically includes at least one item of formative evaluation on which you will receive feedback from your course staff. Formative assessments are solely for developmental purposes and do not contribute toward your final module mark. They are intended to help you gain more knowledge and confidence in the module topic and formal evaluation methods. Students who do not participate in informal assessments frequently struggle with Foundation Year progression and subsequent academic levels.

The official summative assessment is normally administered near the end of each module. Written exams and various types of coursework, including as reports, portfolios, essays, and presentations, may be used to assess students. Summative assessment grades contribute to your overall module grade. Unique Mark Limited reviews its assessment procedures on an annual basis and may amend them in cooperation with students, such as in response to student or External Examiner comments. An External Examiner is an impartial academic expert from another higher education provider to provide external assurance on your course’s academic standards.
