This International Tourism Management degree is for people who want to lead and shape the future of the tourism industry. We will help you grow into a business-savvy, innovative thinker who also puts sustainability at the heart of their decision-making.
This programme will allow you to see the world, learn from key industry figures, and get the real-life experience you need, along with much more. By expanding your boundaries, you can reach even greater heights. That is why we encourage our students, staff, and partners every day to discover and develop their talents, as part of a journey that transcends the limits of their own professional field and immediate environment.
This BA (Hons) International Tourism Management degree is designed to give you the management and operational skills needed to succeed in the tourism industry of the 2020s and beyond. We have a track record of running successful tourism management degrees, and now we have updated our curriculum to be even more relevant to the industry today.
In particular, we have included more content about business management, entrepreneurship and sustainability, so you graduate as a modern, adaptable and creative thinker who is not afraid to challenge the status quo and lead on change.
We have also redesigned the modules so that instead of studying specific modules in Finance, Marketing, HR and the other business disciplines, we teach these subjects throughout the course at points where they are most relevant. For instance, you will build your financial knowledge as you learn to create business plans, and you will develop HR and leadership skills as you learn how to change and transform an organisation.
On this degree, you will cover the full range of modern-day tourism management and business management skills. You will learn to problem-solve and adapt to changing external environments, create successful experiences while considering sustainability, and plan, manage and evaluate projects.
We will 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 will teach you how to research, analyse and present data, as well as how to launch a new business, manage finances and lead teams. You will 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.
You will build up your knowledge and skills through learning activities like:
We use a range of assessment methods – predominantly coursework, but there may be some online exams too. Your coursework tasks will be based around the key duties of tourism professionals, and will include researching the market, thinking of creative ways to promote destinations and attractions, writing business proposals and reports, delivering pitches and presentations, drafting project plans, and evaluating the success of tourism initiatives and activities.
Your personal academic tutor will work with you to help you get the most out of your time at university. Having someone to talk to about your academic progress, your university experience and your professional aspirations is hugely valuable. We want you to feel challenged in your studies, stretched but confident to achieve your academic and professional goals.
