On this course, you will get to explore the key issues facing the travel and aviation sectors and gain the skills employers are looking for.
In the first year, core topics introduce the variety of social and economic impacts that the tourism sector drive forward at destinations and upon societies. You are also introduced to the hospitality sector and tourism service operations through areas such as international tourism destinations and attractions. This will strengthen your academic and professional skills to enhance your employment prospects. Two specialty areas are also offered, focusing specifically on the air travel sector.
In the second year, you are provided with in-depth exposure to sustainable and responsible tourism operations as you study the business tourism sector and niche tourism markets such as music tourism, religious tourism, culinary tourism and dance tourism among many others. The provision is complemented by topics on aviation management. At this level, you will also be introduced to research methods to secure your success at writing a dissertation in your final year and are offered the opportunity to undertake a period of seasonal employment.
The third year comprises the study of critical and contemporary issues in tourism such as dark tourism, the use of animals in tourism, sex tourism, terrorism and tourism, and the impact of pandemics on tourism among others. You’ll also study the management of tourism organisations at strategic levels in addition to the air travel-specific areas. You will also be given the option to either write a dissertation or study a course on business and enterprise should you prefer to choose to focus on entrepreneurship instead of academic research.
By the time you finish this degree, you will have specific knowledge of the day-to-day operation and management of the various tourism sectors.
