Forward University Curriculum Compendium
Assessment
Assessment follows Part E without variation. Across the programme the aggregate weighting is 35 per cent continuous assessment and built artefacts, 25 per cent authentic performance including practical examination and oral defence, 30 per cent external practitioner assessment in the final year, and not more than 40 per cent written examination in any single course. The capstone is client verified and the Day One Assessment contributes 5 per cent of the final year mark. Assessment principles. Assessment is authentic, criterion referenced and, for every capability claim above Level 2, verified by someone other than the teaching lecturer. There is no compensation between competencies: a student must master each one, and a marginal performance in one cannot be offset by strength in another. Feedback is returned quickly, within seven days of a block closing in the Block Sequence, so that it can inform the next unit. A student who does not yet meet the standard is given a further, structured attempt under Part E rather than being carried forward, which protects the value of the award while supporting progression. Reasonable adjustments for disability are made under Part D without altering the competency standard.
Work-integrated learning
Students complete COP 190 Workplace Immersion in the Year 1 recess term, COP 290 Co-operative Education Placement I (six months, paid, assessed) and COP 390 Co-operative Education Placement II (six months, paid, assessed), totalling not fewer than twelve months.

Why this programme exists
Hotels and travel companies now run on technology and data: property systems, distribution channels, dynamic pricing, guest profiles and personalisation decide who fills rooms profitably and who does not. Revenue managers and hospitality technologists are among the scarcest and best paid professionals in the industry, recruited across borders and increasingly remote, and no university in Africa trains them. This programme, unique on the continent and a natural expression of an AI driven university, produces the professional who can run a property's technology stack, its distribution and its revenue strategy, and apply intelligent systems to guests and operations, with paid co-op in hotel groups, technology vendors and distribution platforms.
