Course overview

The focus of this course is to enable students to develop the management skills and knowledge required for succeeding in today's challenging hospitality and tourism sector. It has been designed to develop knowledge and skills in a range of hospitality and tourism focused management areas, including marketing, organisational change, finance, project management, sustainable business and public relations.

All modules will encourage a student centred approach and the continued development of self-directed learning in support of independent and reflective learners.

For those in employment in the Hospitality and Tourism sector, employers will be encouraged to support students in the application of theory and skills imparted during their online learning experience.

The pathway is delivered over four years part-time and is fully online. Delivery is asynchronous (not real time) enabling the flexibility to fit around existing work or other commitments. Full support from tutors and non-academic support staff is offered throughout study.
