Course Overview
Introduction
The BSc (Hons) International Tourism, Hospitality and Events has been designed to help you achieve an ideal balance between a broad understanding of business and specialist knowledge in international tourism, hospitality, and events within a global context. The course aims to equip students with a wide range of professional and managerial skills essential within the dynamic tourism, hospitality, and events sectors.
Programme Features
The course includes specialist modules that cover innovation and entrepreneurship in international tourism, hospitality, and event managers, as well as addressing the global challenges and future of tourism. There is also a module on international hospitality management, which will give you a wider perspective on operational practices and strategic decision-making processes.
You will be supported to develop your skills in critical thinking and writing techniques during the course of the year with core modules which focus on employability, and contemporary business issues. During these modules you will develop personal applications, CVs, and cover letters as part of overall career planning to promote future employability. You will be asked to prepare an independent review of the literature on a contemporary business issue of your choice (discipline specific), which will develop independent thinking and learning, whilst applying knowledge to specific business issues.
The relevance, rigour, and internationalisation of this course are set to meet some of the highest accreditation levels; there is ample support for you to develop the required academic study skills. Whatever your background, we will assist you in adopting the more critical and research-informed approach needed for an honours degree at a UK university.
