The principle aims of this programme are to provide students with the opportunity to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding in those disciplines relevant to their programme of study.
  • Develop a disciplined approach to study, drawing as appropriate, from research and professional contexts.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the subject through both academic and professional reflective practice.
  • Develop skills of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis appropriate to their discipline and level of study.
  • Research and solve problems by critically understanding methods of acquiring, interpreting, and analysing information appropriate to International Tourism Management.
  • Develop a critical awareness of, the moral, ethical, environmental. and legal issues which underpin best practice.
  • Work as individuals and members of teams.
  • Apply appropriate practical and IT skills.

On completion of the programme students should be able to:

  • Deal with business issues both systematically and creatively, make sound judgements in the absence of complete data, and communicate their conclusions clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences.

 

  • Demonstrate self-direction and originality in tackling and solving problems, and act autonomously in planning and implementing tasks at a management or equivalent level.
  • Advance their knowledge and understanding and demonstrate their ability to apply new skills.

Upon successful completion of the BSc (Hons) in Hospitality and International Tourism Management, there are numerous academic progression opportunities students can explore depending on their interests and career goals. These include Master’s programmes in subjects such as Hospitality Management, International Tourism Management, Event Management and Sustainable Tourism.

The flexibility of your degree, especially with pathways in Events Management and Tourism, opens up many doors for specialisation and advanced academic study, ultimately enhancing your expertise and employability in the global hospitality and tourism sectors.

Real World Experience – This programme has a hands on approach to learning achieved through activities such as business simulations and venture creation modules which provide practical learning opportunities. Assessments are designed with the ‘real world’ in mind incorporating activities which students would be expected to undertake, either as an entrepreneur or employee, such as pitches, presentations and business reports.

Business start-up – There are a range of opportunities for students to engage with entrepreneurship at all levels of the programme. In the final year, students have the option to run their own business during the ‘Enterprise Reality’ module. For those students who do not wish to run their own business the programme ensures that students are given the opportunity to undertake a range of practical and Work Based Learning (WBL), encompassing role plays, simulations, real projects, consultancy and placements at Levels 5 and 6.

Two key themes within the degree programme – entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. Students can choose to set up their own business during the ‘Business Reality’ module or they can choose to engage in work-based learning with an employer. The assessment method for this module, a reflective portfolio, entails that students reflect upon their learning whether they chose to run their own business or work with an employer. Neither theme is preferential and is the choice of the student.
