There will be a broad range of assessment methods used throughout the International Tourism and Events Management programme so that students are exposed to the different types of task they might encounter in the workplace.

These will include coursework in the form of reports, portfolios of work, presentations (such as pitches and debates, peer assessment, reflective reviews, evaluation reports. In some modules students will encounter class tests and practical assessments. We continuously review the assessment methods used in order that they adequately prepare students for graduate level employment.
