Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department strongly believes in experiential learning through project-based methodologies. Students are required to complete two mandatory mini-projects throughout their program—one in the fifth semester and another in the sixth semester—before embarking on their final-year capstone project.
The structure of these projects involves identifying a real-world challenge, formulating a strategic plan, executing the solution, and presenting findings to faculty panels and industry mentors. Projects are selected based on student interests and aligned with current industry needs, allowing for personalized learning experiences.
Evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, team collaboration, presentation quality, and impact assessment. Faculty mentors guide students throughout the process, offering feedback and ensuring alignment with professional standards.
The final-year thesis or capstone project requires students to lead a full-scale event from concept through execution. This includes budgeting, stakeholder engagement, risk management, and post-event analysis. Projects often involve collaboration with external partners, providing students with direct exposure to real-world challenges and solutions in the field of event management.
