Our assessment is planned to encourage you to develop useful skills as well as to measure achievement; in a way it is part of the teaching where you acquire skills from the methods of assessment. There are varied coursework assessments such as projects, reports, case studies, essays and presentations. The emphasis is not only on developing student’s knowledge but also the practical and strategic aspects of Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality.

We aim to provide a high quality teaching and learning experience for students. Our modules are designed to provide challenging and interesting educational experiences for students that encourage critical awareness and independent study. While at LJMU students will not only meet with lecturers, they will also hear from guest speakers from across the industry to enhance their learning experience.
