Your transformation from new student to future tourism leader will begin from day one. In your first year you will gain an understanding of the key principles of international tourism management and develop core management skills in areas such as marketing, service experiences, events and entrepreneurship. In year two, you will translate this knowledge into making key decisions and consider the different ways tourism destinations and organisations operate around the world. You will examine how places can plan for and manage the impact of tourism sustainably. You will start to shape your career path by choosing an aspect of business that inspires you and do a work placement that suits your personal interests and ambitions. Previous students have worked for companies such as Royal Caribbean International and The National Trust as well as exploring sustainable tourism in Costa Rica and South Africa. If you’d like to broaden your horizons even further, you can undertake an additional year-long work placement in the UK or overseas. This really brings your course to life and may enhance your graduate employment prospects. How does a work placement with the Disney sound? That’s what Hannah Robinson experienced during her time with us and is just one of many great placement opportunities this course provides. You can even spend a year studying International Tourism Management abroad in Europe, North America, Asia or Australasia. Your final year is then tailored towards giving you the competitive edge you need to succeed in your chosen area of international tourism. You will carry out an original supervised research project investigating a topic which really interests you. Everything you study will be linked to the world of tourism today – exploring contemporary issues topics such as smart destinations, over-tourism and global social issues.
