PS5. Programme Aims

This programme will deliver:

1. To produce graduates who can critically, systematically and reflectively analyse a wide range of event management scenarios.

2. To develop individuals who will be able to design, finance, implement, administer and evaluate event management strategies.

3. To produce students who can demonstrate a range of academic, vocational and study skills to a level that will enable them to support progression to a one-year Level 3 Honours Degree in appropriately specified articulations.

To develop students who can demonstrate a wide range of personal, practical, vocational and transferable skills that will enable them to be effective in seeking employment or developing their role in the event management, tourism and or hospitality sectors of industry

https://staff.plymouth.ac.uk//extexam/academicregs/intranet.htm

PS7. Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation:

Employer engagement is a priority for the faculty and over a number of years the tourism department has sought to work with employers who are passionate and committed to driving up quality in the sector. The relationships established with key, local stakeholders has enable ongoing dialogue concerning programme design and content and provided both placement and consultancy opportunities for our learners. Frequent opportunities exist to provide learners with the chance to network with and demonstrate their potential to influential, local employers.

The programme offered is inspirational, innovative and memorable and will encourage creative thinking and the development of new ideas. Students will be working in an expanding arena where opportunities exist to develop new perspectives and to challenge convention.

Students will acquire in-depth knowledge of event practice that may be applied across many sectors of industry.

The programme will prepare students to pursue a range of careers within the event, hospitality, tourism and leisure and sports sectors.

The programme is very much in tune with the changing face of the events industry and the need to address greener, social, increasingly economic and corporate issues.

The programme will recruit from diverse backgrounds and ages so students can expect to work within a fairly cosmopolitan environment. The College runs a number of related courses so students will be able to mix with fellow students with interests in sport, recreation, tourism, travel, heritage, gastronomy and outdoor leisure.

Opportunities to work individually and on collaborative and cross-disciplinary projects that will have real implications in the work place.

Learn a range of subject specific but transferable skills

PS8. Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal, and therefore not absolutely rigid, but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience, functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning:

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =12

Maximum student numbers per stage =20

PS9. Progression Route(s)


Approved “progression route(s)” are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme. This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to “top-up” to complete a Bachelor degree, but may be employed for other award types.

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award; however progression opportunity, if not available in the first year of application, is guaranteed within 3 years.

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk. It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme. For progression to Plymouth University, should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found. This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University.

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations.

Completing this course enables you to progress onto these related courses and programmes with the University of Plymouth /Cornwall College at level 5 or level 6, as specifically defined by this programme’s progression agreement.

PS11. Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme Leader/Manager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth University’s annual programme monitoring process (APM), as titled at the time of approval. APM culminates in the production, maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan, which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and standards. Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme Leader/Manager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee.

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders. For this definitive document it is important to define:

Subject External Examiner(s):

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked, consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team.

4 Accredited Prior Experiential Learning and Accredited Prior Certificated Learning


Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE. Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme.

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager, the awarding body’s partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award.

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme:

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently, twice a year in the Student Review. This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year.

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review.

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders, the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision.

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression, department provision, resources and staffing.

PS13. Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes, Teaching & Learning and Assessment


Developing graduate attributed and skills, at any level of HE , is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised. The interrelated factors of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature, are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods, as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme.

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills, the following table provides a map of the above, plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each. Therefore, subsequent to the initial completion for approval, maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important:

ALL Core Modules

An explanation of this map:Work Based Learning is embedded throughout level 4, and 5 of this programme. Many assignments require students to complete observations, reflect on practice and apply theory to practice. These activities make a clear link between academic theoretical learning and that of professional practice.
