MSc assessments in Engineering and the Environment may be different from work you have previously faced.
Although the assessment you will face as an MSc student depends on the modules you choose, some examples are given below.
Reports | Essays | Presentations | Other |

Design report | Developmental essays | 'PowerPoint' presentations | Problem sheets |
Lab report | Argumentative essays |
You may be required to do coursework or exams; work individually or in groups; complete numerical calculations on a problem sheet, or write an article for a popular science magazine.
Many of the assignments practise skills that are needed in industry; for example, you may be asked to produce a design brief on behalf of a company or take part in a transportation public inquiry.
You’ll be challenged to think carefully about how you communicate your technical knowledge appropriately to your audience; for example, you may need to write a technical report for a specialist audience or a consultancy report for managers.
As well as writing, you will need to gather information. This may be through extensive reading, carrying out surveys or experimental work.
You may be required to work as part of a group for labs, projects, presentations and reports, for example.
