Our programme is designed to provide students with a unique learning experience that combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, preparing them for success in the dynamic field of tourism management.

We will equip you with essential, evaluative decision-making skills, we’ll also nurture your academic abilities while inspiring and encouraging the skills (e.g. leadership, communication, problem-solving, cultural awareness, sustainability, digital) and characteristics you need to become an accomplished tourism professional.
We also support your professional development with a practical focus on up-to-the-minute managerial and strategic issues within tourism, giving you a competitive edge with prospective employers.
We regularly invite high-profile guest speakers from the tourism industry to deliver industry-led presentations to our students. These speakers provide valuable insights into the latest trends and developments in the industry, helping our students stay up-to-date and competitive in the job market.
We also regularly organise field trips for our students to visit tourist attractions, companies, and other relevant sites. These trips provide students with hands-on learning experiences, allowing them to apply what they've learned in the classroom to real-world settings and gain a deeper understanding of the tourism industry.
