International Tourism Management (Mandarin) BA Honours

Overview
Why study international tourism management with us
Our tourism management course combines theory with practice – with a focus on the latest global trends and developments in international tourism – and a career-enhancing opportunity to learn the world’s most widely spoken language.

You’ll study career-relevant topics such as sustainability, cultural tourism, tourism in developing countries, and gain an insight into distinct social science perspectives. You'll also have the opportunity to build your professional industry experience ­– in the UK and abroad – with a range of work placements and field trips.

Aside from gaining the knowledge and skills to embark on a career in international tourism management, you’ll also learn Mandarin with the help of an expert language tutor. You'll get a chance to practice your new language skills by travelling to China for a study abroad year.

Develop your experience and management skills
You’ll have the flexibility to study our international tourism management course over three or four years, with the option of taking two periods of residence abroad in China during the summers between your first and second year, and the second and third year of your course, or as a year-long exchange, placement or combination of both.

You’ll also take part in a range of industry-relevant UK field trips throughout your course and spend a week at an international tourist destination. The majority of the cost for these excursions is included in your tuition fees.

Roles for graduates include Customer Service Agents, Project Managers, Marketing Executives and Travel Consultants, with graduates of our course building their careers with companies including Etihad, Eurostar, Marriott, Radisson Blu Edwardian, Thomas Cook, Travel Republic and Virgin Holidays.
