Key Summary
The Global College Malta Bachelors degree in Tourism and Events Management explores the relationship between tourism, events and the wider environment, helping to develop the skills you’ll need to be able to successfully evaluate and manage tourism and stage events in host destinations. The degree programme is targeted at students who have an interest in the tourism sector and are keen to focus on the dynamic field of events management.
The degree is designed to provide a combination of knowledge in the field of business and management together with the practical elements of events management and an in-depth understanding of the potential impacts of events and their role in developing destination product and destination image. The degree has a strong international perspective.
The degree provides a strong grounding in the subject and the theoretical principles that underpin tourism and event policy and management, but also a strong emphasis on your skills development for the workplace, including presentation skills, research and data analysis, budgeting for events, negotiation and content planning.

Module Teaching and Assessment
Module Teaching & Assessment for all modules except Dissertation
The module will be delivered through a flexible combination of modern face-to-face lectures, webinars, seminars and discussion forums, tutorials, group work, case studies, guest speakers, organisational visits and independent study. Delivery of the module has close regard to the needs of learners. Accordingly, much of the learning is either delivered at times to suit those learners who may have day time employment or child care commitments or made available in a supported teaching format. At all times, the views and needs of students are taken into account. By means of example, theoretical concepts might typically be delivered to students in modern face-to-face lecture formats which may then be further developed through subsequent interactions based around small group seminars, group case study analysis and digital discussions. Modern face-to-face and interactive learning sessions encourage students to critically examine key elements of business and management. In addition to attendance at formal learning sessions, students are expected to undertake independent self-study in order to support their individual learning journeys.
The assessment strategy for the module is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate both the theoretical and practical skills they have developed in the module. Thus, the summative assessments for this module consist of:
- An in-semester test and a final examination.
- The in-semester test (25% of the final module mark) lasts for 90 minutes and is a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions.
The final two-hour examination (75% of final mark) consists of four multi-part questions, two of which should be answered. It is designed to reflect the learning outcomes.
Module Teaching & Assessment for Dissertation
Each student will be allocated a supervisor who will help them with the development of their project proposal, oversee progress with the project, comment as appropriate on draft materials produced by the student and be available to assist the student with the project, as appropriate.
The final year major project is assessed via the production of a dissertation which is normally some 12,000 to 15,000 words in length.
Where necessary, a viva voce will be conducted in those instances where the provisional mark is considered to be a marginal pass.
The major project has to include theoretical and critical discussion and is processed through Turnitin Software for Similarity. Students will be provided knowledge and understanding of how Academic Integrity is applied and how the Turnitin Similarity Report will be interpreted by Assessors. Additionally, all assignments must be referenced with appropriate citations using the Harvard Referencing Style Guidelines. Both Academic Integrity and Referencing Style practice will be explained in a 2-hour session provided by the College to all students in the student induction phase prior to the commencement of the programme.
To successfully complete the module an overall pass mark of 40% must be achieved. All assessments will be submitted via the internationally recognised plagiarism software Turnitin.
