Assessment methods
You will be assessed through practical, verbal, and written work, including such things as presentations, tutor observation of your practical work, essays, short reports and evaluations, open book tests, spoken ‘viva’ reports and in your final year, a research-based project, which can be either a traditional written dissertation, or a more ‘practice-based’ project. All of your assignment tasks are designed to be relevant to and reflective of the work and knowledge you may be expected to engage with as a professional within the Creative Industries and Performing Arts. During your time as a Management student at LIPA, you will devise, produce, manage, and deliver a range of projects and creative products, taking on an increasing amount of individual responsibility for your work as you progress through each year.

==Validation==
LIPA aims to have probationary degree awarding powers from September 2025 (subject to Office for Students approval). This is an exciting step, allowing us to take full control of our curriculum and course portfolio. In the unlikely event LIPA does not achieve probationary degree awarding powers, our degrees will be validated by Liverpool John Moores University.
