Our School of Hospitality and Tourism Management has an outstanding reputation around the world and our programmes are truly international in nature. From hotels to casinos, airlines to cruise ships, tour operators to resort development, our course will prime you for a career at the heart of one of the world’s most exciting and fastest growing sectors.
Our innovative course combines core business and management studies with specialist hospitality and tourism modules.
Through the business modules you will explore the approaches and techniques vital to managing and running an international business, while specialist modules give you a detailed appreciation of the unique features and challenges of the hospitality and tourism industries.
Our course combines theory and practice to give you the chance to apply your knowledge, making use of case studies, business simulations and site visits. This balance gives you both the in-depth knowledge to thrive in international hospitality and tourism and a broader range of transferable skills that can be applied to a variety of managerial and entrepreneurial roles.
We’re always looking to make it easier to access the education we offer, so we have launched the option of taking a degree with a foundation year.
A foundation year is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. It’s a great option if:
- You don’t have the grades for a full degree course
- You have non-traditional qualifications or experience
- You’re starting university after some time away from education
- You’re looking for more support during the transition into university study.
During a foundation year you’ll learn about your chosen subject, develop your study skills and get used to university life. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree course.
As a foundation year student, you’ll be a full student of the University and part of our community. You’ll have access to all our campus facilities and support.
