Course summary

Explore one of the world’s leading, fast-moving and dynamic industries at one of the UK’s top tourism universities - the best in the North of England, Wales & Scotland (Guardian University Guide 2025).

You will learn from industry experts and academics how places around the world benefit from and manage tourism, how it is marketed and how tourism businesses operate. You will consider the future challenges facing tourism, particularly in terms of sustainability. You will gain industry experience to help plan your tourism future.

The course provides you with a broad understanding of international tourism in your first year before exploring more specialist topics in your second and third years when you will also expand upon your areas of particular interest by selecting optional modules that connect tourism with aspects of events management, marketing or business. You will also have the opportunity to study a Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish language module in your first and second year as part of the course.

You will have a work placement in your second year and carry out an individual tourism management project that you have designed yourself in your third year. These opportunities will help you stand out when you apply for the job that will kick-start your tourism career.

It is available as a three-year course or as a four-year course with a placement year.

This degree course is accredited by the Tourism Management Institute. We work closely with it and our industry partners to make sure that our modules are always up to date and give you the skills that you will need for future success.
