MSc International Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management with Placement
MSc International Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management have been designed to provide you with the enhanced skills and knowledge which are necessary to support key decision-making within the international tourism, hospitality, and event industries.
The program is underpinned by a strong theoretical base across a number of contexts relevant to tourism, hospitality, and event management in contemporary international environments.? A distinctive feature of this program is that it offers you opportunities to interact with current industry practitioners and therefore enables a hands-on approach.
The program is offered full time (1-year mode) or part-time (2-year mode).
A new sandwich version is also offered in full time on a 2-year mode. The sandwich program requires you to successfully complete a minimum of 36 weeks of full-time work placement. This is a very valuable experience which allows you to familiarise yourself with the day to day activities of Tourism, Hospitality, and Event businesses, and to use your initiative in dealing with issues of the work environment.
Work placement
Full-time students on the sandwich route will be expected to take a minimum of 36 weeks full-time work placement.
You must pass all the modules in Semester A to proceed onto the placement. For students with visa restrictions, the placement would need to take place within the UK. You will typically need to secure a placement by the end of April in their first academic year of study, in order to process the necessary paperwork required.
The ‘Sandwich’ award requires you to successfully complete a minimum of 36 weeks full-time work placement, submit acceptable milestone reports during the placement as part of their ‘Professional Work Placement’ module, and pass the ‘Work Placement Portfolio’ module at the start of their final semester.
