Our full-time Business with Tourism degree will do just that. You’ll graduate with a sound knowledge of the tourism industry, the ability to adapt to trends, and contacts that will benefit you throughout your career.

Whether you want to manage a remote hotel in the Maldives, take charge of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, or start a sightseeing business in Chicago, studying Business with Tourism can turn your dreams into reality.

Tourism is changing. It’s evolving to reflect consumer demand and the needs of the world around us. You need up-to-the-minute knowledge to launch a career in this dynamic industry.

That’s where we can help. Our course content and teaching are forward-thinking, and will help you acquire real-world business skills.

Tourism is a global industry and we understand the importance of languages in the sector. As a Business with Tourism student at ARU, you can choose to study French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese or Japanese as part of your course.

As a student at ARU, you’ll get hands-on experience working with local organisations to run events. And you’ll get to travel too, with a range of European field trips and the opportunity to study abroad for a semester.

Don’t count on passive learning. You’ll be involved in practical activities such as calculating your own impact on the environment. And we have Cambridge as our classroom – a place where history and culture meet 21st-century innovation. Perfect preparation for your career in tourism.
