Overview

A great hotel isn’t just about a clean room and a well-made bed. A successful visitor attraction is more than a good layout and interactive displays. To give guests an incredible experience, there needs to be effective leaders who keep the business profitable and make everything run smoothly. On our MSc International Hotel and Tourism Management course, we will help you acquire the skills and knowledge to be a leader in the sector.

Not many courses can take you from a novice with no prior knowledge in hospitality and tourism to a competent leader in your industry. With the assistance of our experienced academics, and the right attitude and application, it’s possible with this degree.

Our focus on employability means you’ll be exposed to the sort of organisations you want to be working for and immerse you in the industry from day one. You’ll have time to work alongside your study – perhaps as a hotel concierge or supervisor at a visitor attraction. Many of our students who work for hotels and tourism organisations during their studies are offered positions after graduation.

Careers

This industry is different. It’s easy to get started and employers are hungry for graduates.

If you see yourself working at management level at a global hotel chain, we’ll help you get there. Your leadership skills are something that will really make you stand out to employers after you graduate.

Our graduates go on to work for leading hotel and tourism brands in a wide range of roles either in the UK or internationally. These include:

Accor

Our optional one-year work placement is a great opportunity for those who would like to gain work experience in the hotel or tourism industry after the course. We’ll help you find a placement and offer you support throughout so you make the most of this opportunity.
