During your second, third and fourth years you’ll study an average of six modules each year.
Our local and international field trips will take learning outside of the classroom so you can experience tourism first-hand. With an optional work placement and the chance to study abroad for a semester, you can gain the skills and expertise that are in demand by travel and tourism employers.
You’ll also have the opportunity to specialise in key areas such as marketing and human resources and learn from our own world-leading experts in responsible tourism. If you choose to study our sandwich course then you'll get to do a year's work experience, either at home or abroad.
You’ll have the fantastic opportunity of working in teams as a consultant for a luxury online tour operator, where you’ll develop new and exciting holidays and present them in a Dragon's Den style presentation. If the tour operator likes the ideas, you may get the chance to see it launched into the market.
Through our extensive industry contacts some of our students have worked for Jet 2 or in The Gambia on sustainable tourism and development projects. Regular lectures from leading industry speakers, such as the Institute of Travel & Tourism (ITT), will keep you up to speed with current hot topics and developments within this exciting industry.
