or
- a written exam and case studies. The exam is worth either 60% or 70% and the case studies are worth either 40% or 30% of your total mark respectively.

- a dissertation between 10,000 to 15,000 words on a topic approved by your academic supervisor
or
- an internship report - where you find an organisation willing to offer you a work placement (for 2 months), that is approved by your academic supervisor. You will also have to write an intellectual report of minimum 10,000 words.
