We bring business and management to life with inspiring and real experiences. It’s a competitive world in business today. We will equip you with much more than business knowledge.

We develop outstanding business professionals.

In your International Tourism Management modules, you will learn from industry experts and academics how places around the world benefit from and manage tourism, how it is marketed, and how tourism businesses operate. You will also consider the future challenges facing tourism, particularly in terms of sustainability.

You will gain industry experience to help plan your future and have the chance to carry out an individual business or tourism management project that you have designed yourself in the third year. These opportunities will help you stand out when you apply for the job that will kick-start your career.

The course is accredited by the Tourism Management Institute. We work closely with it and our industry partners to make sure that our tourism modules are always up to date and give you the skills that you will need for future success.
