Why study Business and Management: Tourism Management?
The Business and Management programme is designed to develop you as a person to achieve your potential through teaching you about business and how it works. Once you graduate, you'll be looking for employment in different businesses. This could be in an organisation, in the private or public sector, a charity or possibly your own business. We aim to give you the skills to apply your knowledge in a wide range of situations in any sector.
Course structure
Year 1 ensures you have a broad and grounded knowledge of business today, giving a platform to develop specialised knowledge as you progress through the course. You'll explore how organisations work, how they are managed and how they interact with the business environment. You'll gain an understanding of economic thinking. You'll develop management skills in gathering and assessing information and data, in making and communicating decisions and in evaluating their effect.
In Year 2 you’ll get to know about the functions of a business and how these interrelate. You’ll start to form opinions about how businesses manage the challenges that are presented to them on a daily basis. You'll have the opportunity to work on projects and to use business techniques to solve problems, and you’ll start to develop your employability skills before seeking a placement at the end of this study year. There is a compulsory module on financial accounting and tourism management and other optional modules related to business and management functions.
At the end of Year 2 you have the option to choose a ten month business placement or a shorter ten week placement during the summer break. This is an invaluable chance to apply your tourism management knowledge and skills in the real world, making you even more attractive to employers.
In your final year, when you finish your placement, you'll practice, develop, challenge and explore all your business learning, and examine management as an integrating activity. In your tourism management related dissertation you'll explore in depth an area of tourism that really interests you. You will develop your expertise in a specialist module 'Tourism: Contemporary Issues'. You’ll also have the opportunity to work individually or with colleagues to develop and set up a business.
