International Travel and Tourism Management - HND

Wigan and Leigh College

This course has a global focus, and provides an in-depth understanding of the travel and tourism industry. The qualification forms the basis for careers in the hospitality, travel and tourism sector, particularly a management career. You may specialise in a range of areas, from visitor attractions and human resources, to hospitality and resort management or marketing.

Tutors have extensive experience in industry, from hotel management, to working for leading airlines and tour companies, including Virgin, TUI and Easyjet.

A comprehensive guest speaker programme includes industry professionals, from hospitality consultants to local tourism entrepreneurs.

You will have the opportunity to take part in a work experience placement relating to your preferred area of industry – from shadowing managers in hotels, events, or travel agencies.

Students have previously benefited from a European trip - subsidised by the University Centre - to find out more about the latest travel and tourism industry trends at first-hand. In addition, trips are organised throughout each academic year to support with their studies.
