BSc International Hospitality & Tourism Management (Top-up)
If you have a Higher National Diploma or a foundation degree in a related subject, you can join us to top-up your credits to a full degree. You’ll learn everything you need to succeed in the tourism and hospitality sector over the course of one year. And at the end of the course, you have the option to go on placement and put what you’ve learned into practice.
Like our International hospitality business management course, we cover a wide range of topics to build up your skills, ready for working in this exciting sector. This is the right course for you if you want to focus more on tourism and less on the business side of things – although there are plenty of opportunities to develop your managerial skills. It’s also ideal for students from a wider range of academic backgrounds.
Work towards your dream career
As well as core modules covering the essential knowledge you’ll need, we offer a range of options to pick from. Interested in hotel operations? Or crisis management? Throughout your degree, you’ll explore a range of subjects to help you focus your interests and specialise further.
Our lecturers have strong links to businesses in the sector so they’re always up-to-date with the latest developments. They’re constantly adapting the course content to reflect changes in the world. You’ll take recent events into account, working to understand the effects of the pandemic and how you can help the sector overcome its challenges.
