Course Summary

The BSc (Hons) International Tourism Management degree offers students the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become employable and effective tourism and business managers who can operate worldwide. This four-year course starts with a foundation year, specifically designed to introduce and develop essential skills for success in Higher Education, including critical thinking and research skills, and the knowledge and understanding of key facets of business and the service sector. In the second year, students further deepen their knowledge and understanding of the international tourism industry. The skills necessary for research, creative thinking and presenting findings professionally are also further developed. In the third year, modules build upon the knowledge gained and students are encouraged to consider ideas and information from a more critical perspective, they are also expected to be able to apply knowledge to different scenarios. By the time students commence their final year they will be sufficiently prepared to work on an individual significant project in a specific area of interest, able to explore ideas critically, and conduct research competently with high levels of analytical and problem solving skills. Throughout the programme students are introduced to the industry and management in the public, private and voluntary sectors from a range of international perspectives. Skills, knowledge and practical insight are provided through lectures, a wide range of varied assessments and professional speakers. Having gained a set of very desirable transferable skills, graduates from our tourism management programme not only gain employment within the tourism industry but have also progressed to project management, marketing, hospitality, destination management and roles in the heritage sector. All undergraduate modules within Plymouth Business School have integrated within them a CV building activity, for example, through micro-credentialing; real world problem-based learning; or embedded direct employer activity. We do this because we know it is key to student academic and graduate success.
