Assessment method
You deserve a positive teaching and learning experience, where you feel part of a supportive and nurturing community. That’s why most students will enjoy an innovative approach to learning using block teaching, where you will study one module at a time. You’ll benefit from regular assessments - rather than lots of exams at the end of the year - and a simple timetable that allows you to engage with your subject and enjoy other aspects of university life such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering your new city. By studying with the same peers and tutor for each block, you’ll build friendships and a sense of belonging. Overview You will complete a dissertation with a focus on developing your research skills. Destination Marketing, place branding and tourism niche products such as Natural, Cultural, Eco and Dark Tourism are taught. The International Research Visit module presents the opportunity to take part in a research visit to a major European city through DMU Global. Contact hours You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, group work and self-directed study. You will normally attend around 6 hours of timetabled taught sessions (lectures and seminars/workshops) each week, with some additional field trips and tutorials. We expect you to undertake at least 25 further hours of independent study to complete project work and research.
