Business, Accounting & Marketing

Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries. Events such as the London 2012 Olympics put the UK under the global spotlight. If you want to play a role in the future of the industry, we give you the necessary knowledge, skills and experience.

If you have a higher national diploma, foundation degree or equivalent qualification in tourism or leisure (or something similar), and want to top it up to a full degree, this is the course for you. With an extra year of study, you gain a BA (Hons) Tourism Management degree and develop an analytical and critical approach to work, and transferable skills which are greatly valued by employers.

This final year gives you a broad understanding of international developments and issues in tourism, and the Events Management module gives you the opportunity to stage your own event.

How you learn

Modules are taught via lectures, seminars, practical workshops and group work. Teaching staff also adopt a range of web-based technologies to deliver module and programme content in order to assess, provide feedback and communicate with students.

How you are assessed

The programme is assessed via a variety of methods including assignments, examinations, group work, presentations and live practical projects.

Career opportunities

Graduates from this programme will be well placed to find employment in a wide range of business and tourism, management and administrative jobs both in the UK and overseas.
