Assessment
CAS is assessed as a 'complete' or 'incomplete' core component.
The process is supported by regular check-ins and guidance from the CAS Coordinator, with the aide of online portfolio tools.
To meet CAS requirements, students must collate evidence demonstrating reflective engagement in the CAS learning outcomes. Evidence is reinforced in four formal interviews with the CAS Coordinator throughout the two-year programme.
