These two are assessed separately but the final grade awarded amalgamates both sets of grades with a slight weighting towards teaching practice.

Tuscany is one of the few regions on earth that lives up to its hype. As the birthplace of the Renaissance it holds one of the greatest concentrations of artistic achievements known to man. The Duomo, the Battistero, and the Galleria Degli Uffizi, which houses the works of Da Vinci, Raphael, and Botticelli are all here.

Its rolling countryside of checkerboard fields of sunflower and wheat, and green vineyards specked with red tiled farmhouses is breath-taking.
