Course Overview

The Highlights

  • You'll learn to manage and promote destinations and develop tourism, but we'll also give you the leadership and entrepreneurial skills needed to excel in the tourism industry - a sector that needs reshaping and rebuilding after the Covid pandemic
  • There are plenty of opportunities to travel: you can study abroad for a semester in year two, go on various overseas field trips, and take a placement year before year three, which could be based overseas or in the UK
  • You'll learn how tourism, events, and hospitality overlap to make up the wider 'visitor economy', and work closely with Events and Hospitality students - this will broaden your career options
  • All modules align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, so you will learn to think about the social and environmental impacts of tourism and balance this against the economic benefits it brings

This programme is part of our Centre for Contemporary Hospitality and Tourism, which is an accredited International Centre of Excellence (ICE). Because of this, it shares key generic modules with our International Hospitality Management and Event Management degrees, so you can appreciate how these three specialisms work together to make up the 'visitor economy' (the services and experiences that attract visitors to a destination).

Key Areas of Learning

On this degree, you'll cover the full range of modern-day tourism management and business management skills. You'll learn to problem-solve and adapt to changing external environments, create successful experiences while considering sustainability, and plan, manage and evaluate projects. 

We'll cover interesting or emerging topics such as sustainable tourism, e-tourism and the role of technology, and niche tourism such as food, nature-based or adventure tourism. We'll teach you how to research, analyse and present data, as well as how to launch a new business, manage finances and lead teams. You'll graduate with a diverse skillset, a 'can-do attitude and the knowledge and confidence to go out and make your mark in the tourism industry.
