Learning & Teaching
In most modules teaching consists of one lecture and one seminar per week. Seminars
are practically based and are usually run as workshops where students have an
opportunity to practice the material covered in the lecture. All modules are fully
supported by the university’s VLE and students may also make an appointment with
module tutors and personal tutors at any mutually convenient time.
Assessment
Coursework is generally of a very practical nature to reflect the nature of the skills and
techniques required by a professional accountant. Assessment for ACCA-accredited
modules in year three includes a 3-hour closed-book examination in order to satisfy
exemption requirements.
Employability & Careers
There is a considerable demand by Cypriot employers for accounting graduates and past
experience suggests that a significant proportion of graduates will obtain graduate training places in ‘the big four’, finance sections of businesses, high street practices and the
public sector. The course is fully accredited by the main Cyprus accounting bodies and
you will be able to obtain maximum exemptions from the ACCA and ICAEW examinations
and substantial exemptions from the CIMA examinations. This is therefore a demanding
course, which combines academic content with the development of the knowledge and
skills required to pass the accounting bodies’ final examinations.

Learning & Teaching
Teaching in the first year (level 4) is timetabled on the basis of 1-hour lectures and 1-hour
seminars, weekly for each subject studied. As you progress into years two and three
(levels 5 and 6) the pattern of lectures remains, but the purpose of seminars may change,
as do the learning outcomes of the modules you are studying.
Personal Development Planning involves regular meetings with personal academic
tutors to help you in your personal development. The School also has a Personal Tutoring
department, which assists you with non-academic matters. Students also have an
appointed Year Tutor at each level of study who advises, guides and monitors your
progress. All of these provide a strong supportive environment for our students. The use
of technology is also an important aspect of the teaching and learning process. As a
result many of our classrooms are technology friendly.
Assessment
The assessment strategy covers a wide spectrum of approaches. Each module has its own
aims, objectives, learning outcomes and methods of delivery and assessment. Assessments
may therefore take the form of assessed written papers/essays/reports, oral presentations,
group and individual research projects, reflective papers, case studies as well as open/
closed book formal examinations.

Employability & Careers
There have been developments within the School and Institution to encourage
employability. The module in Core Skills in the first semester, for example, has introduced
the student to the maintenance of personal records. Careers events and a Blackboard
on-line module allow students opportunities to further their knowledge. “Campus Pack”
offers students the capacity to build their e-portfolio within their online modules. This is
designed with the following aims:
• Social Assignments: Empower instructors, academic technologists, and
instructional designers to build and implement assignments and activities from a
palette of re-usable social media tools including wikis, blogs, journals, podcasts,
and templates.
• Social Network and Academic Commons: Implement a secure social network and
community for instructors, students, departments, and administrators.
• e-Portfolios: Provide every individual a space and network to create, categorize,
assess, and present academic and co-curricular activities with instructors, peers,
advisors, or anyone in the world.
• Personal Development Plans: Personal Development Plans (PDP) facilitate the
structure necessary for students to reflect upon individual learning, performance,
and achievement, and map personal, educational, and career development.
Institu tions can easily design template profiles to meet the needs of different users
and skill set groups.
The Alumni office and the MBA Team have also been developing networks, for example
through social media such as Linked In. The success of these networks has been
evidenced by the amount of former students currently in contact with the university about
their employment, allowing current and former students to form links, and network.

Assessment
The School of Management assessment strategy for each module varies to ensure the
most appropriate method is used for that area of study. A range of assessment methods
are used which provide opportunities for learning as well as assessment. These include
essays, reports, presentations, proposals, case studies, practical projects and
examinations. It is feasible that a module could be assessed completely via one cours
work submission, whilst others could be assessed solely via one unseen examination. In
practice however, the undergraduate modules are assessed primarily by a combination
of varying types of coursework submissions and examinations.
Employability & Careers
Graduates will gain a management qualification that will provide excellent career and
employment prospects in all fields of the events industry, which includes festivals, conferences, exhibitions, corporate hospitality, sports, fundraising, experiential marketing,
pageantry and more. Events Management is an expanding and exciting field; world
cups, rock concerts, television spectaculars, cup finals, rallies, corporate events,
Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games!
An increasing number of local authorities are now appointing events management teams,
and most hotels of note also have events departments. Within the corporate sector the
use of events as a marketing and communication tool has also led to rapid growth and
demand for qualified graduates. Additionally with stadiums, indoor arenas, arts, music and
sports facilities identifying the need to develop event programmes in order to survive in an
increasingly competitive marketplace, excellent EMPLOYMENT opportunities will exist in
the field of events management.
As all sectors of industry - public, private and voluntary - realise the benefits of
professionally managed events in terms of contributing to project based and long term
objectives, organisations within them are increasingly developing in house events teams
or outsourcing projects to events management companies. All these activities, coupled
with increasing public expectations and improved standards of facility and service, have
created a need for trained and professional managers at all levels and across a broad
range of disciplines.
Our graduates should find themselves well prepared to move into either venue or events
management, initially at a junior management level, and with the prospect of experience-based promotion ahead. The BA (Hons) programmes are accredited by the Institute
of Hospitality and successful graduates are eligible for licentiate membership of the
Institute of Hospitality.
