International Tourism Management BSc Honours

Overview
Get flexibility to follow your interests
Our international tourism course covers all the essential knowledge to give you a solid foundation from which to pursue your interests. You’ll be equipped with knowledge about tourism in relation to sustainable economic development and civil society. In addition to this, you’ll have the flexibility to take on optional modules and take part in practice-based learning opportunities. The diverse style of learning will develop your skills and increase your prospects of employment once you graduate.

The events management module will give you a great understanding of the events industry and everything that goes into planning memorable ones. You’ll cover planning, strategy, and management while analysing festivals and the requirements of different event types. You’ll also develop your own event concept and produce a portfolio to show your understanding of planning specific events.

Our graduates have gone on to work for Marriot, Thomas Cook, Etihad, and many more. The course opens doors to many different industries too, including tourist boards, local authorities, airports, hotels, and museums.

We're in the top 5 institutions in London for Hospitality, Event Management & Tourism (The Guardian University Guide 2020).

How you’ll apply your new skills
You’ll practice applying your newly learned skills in different situations to get you ready for the world of work. Every year you’ll take part in a range of UK field trips. In your second year, you’ll go on a week-long visit to an international tourist destination and the majority of the cost is included in your tuition fee. Greece and Spain are some of the past destinations visited by students.

You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to plan your career far ahead of graduation. A designated team will be on hand to help and you’ll be engaged in industry networking events and careers fairs.

Get the support you need
We know sometimes you’ll need assistance and support when it comes to your studies. During your time with us you'll get assistance from a Personal Tutor. If you require a little extra help we have Student Learning Assistants and Graduate Academic Assistants on hand to help.
