Course Overview

Develop the knowledge and skills to get ahead in the travel and tourism industry with a focus on domestic, international relationships and their impact on society and the wider economy.

Designed in partnership with employers, you gain a theoretical and practical understanding of travel and tourism management, preparing you for the world of work.

This course includes an integrated foundation year – ideal if you need additional preparation and/or if you don’t have sufficient grades to join Year 1 of a degree. An optional work placement year is included, at no extra cost.

Year 0, the foundation year, allows you to develop key discipline knowledge in business and management and develops your confidence and creative thinking skills, as well as financial competence and numeracy skills. The content of the remaining years of the course is identical to the content of the BA (Hons) Business with Tourism degree.

Year 1 is mainly tutor-led and focuses on providing you with the necessary underpinning in terms of broad business knowledge and skills. You explore key business and management concepts and are introduced to your specialist area of tourism.

Year 2 takes a more student-led approach with an emphasis on exploring your own interests and deepening your insights as well as having more responsibility for your own learning. During this year you develop a broader international perspective to the study of business. As well as studying four core business modules, including a module where you gain practical work experience via a self-identified project, you also study two modules in the area of tourism.

The final year explores more advanced topics within business and management and you develop your awareness of your own responsibility as a future leader of the business. You consider the strategic and applied aspects of tourism and have the opportunity to put your knowledge into action by undertaking a self-managed independent project via the Dissertation module.
