Final Examination. This component has a Compulsory Course Component. A mark of at least 40% in the Final Examination is required to demonstrate that the student has fulfilled Course Objective 1 (understands how software and hardware components can be combined into commonly used and innovative information technology applications) and Course Objective 3 (able to apply their information technology skills and knowledge to problems to the type they will encounter professionally). The Assignments deal with only two of these techniques. The Final Examination is where students are asked to demonstrate their knowledge across the full range of techniques addressed in the course. On passing the exam, a final mark will be given in the course and it will be recorded that the student has satisfied the Compulsory Course Component.

All students sitting the examination will be judged to have had sufficient opportunity to demonstrate their attainment of the relevant course objectives. Those who fail to satisfy the Compulsory Course Component will have the normal avenues of appeal open to them. In the event of a successful appeal the student will be given a supplementary assessment to determine whether the student has satisfied the Compulsory Course Component.
