Optional modules
This module builds expertise in analysing financial statements to assess company health, sustainability, and adaptability. It applies forecasting techniques and evaluates external influences on performance.
Assessments:
You will complete 100% coursework, split into two tasks. The first involves a numerical analysis of two companies’ performance within a chosen industry, while the second is a written comparative report (2,500 words) evaluating their strengths, weaknesses, and future prospects. Feedback from the first task supports improvement in the second, ensuring progressive skill development.Study Method
With flexible start dates in September, January or May, you can begin your course at a time that suits you best. Interactive online learning materials allow you to study wherever and whenever is convenient. Although modules follow a fixed trimester schedule, you can choose to study during the day, evenings or weekends, avoiding rigid lecture times and adapting learning to your lifestyle.
The academic year is structured into three 10-week trimesters. To complete one 20-credit module within a trimester, about 20 hours of study per week is recommended. If you choose the accelerated study plan, you will undertake two modules in one trimester, requiring approximately 40 hours of study weekly. This option demands careful planning to balance study with personal and professional commitments
If you decide to study at the accelerated rate, it is important to ensure you can fully engage with your studies to achieve strong results. Balancing 40 hours of study per week alongside other responsibilities can be challenging. Many students find it useful to begin with one module at the standard pace before moving to the accelerated plan. Each trimester also includes one or two virtual classrooms, which can be downloaded if you cannot attend live.
Assessment is based entirely on coursework, using varied methods such as essays, research reports, presentations, group work and practical reports. While independence is encouraged, the University provides strong support to help you succeed. You will have access to a dedicated Personal Tutor and an Online Learner Advisor, ensuring guidance is available whenever needed to help you achieve your academic and professional goals.
- Qualifi Level 5 Extended Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management, or equivalent qualification.
- If you have relevant work experience but no traditional qualifications, or if you have other professional qualifications (e.g. ILM, CMI), we still encourage you to apply as all applications are considered on an individual basis.
