About this course
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.

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.
**Practical experience alongside your studies**
You won’t just learn in the lecture theatre. Lots of your work will be practical to help you build up your experience. As well as networking and work experience opportunities during the course, you have the option to complete a year’s placement after you’ve finished your studies.

Top job areas of graduates
This course sits in a wide group of smaller subjects that don't necessarily have that much in common - so bear this in mind when you look at any employment data. Most graduates took a hospitality, events management or tourism-related course, but there are a group of sports and leisure graduates in here as well who do different things. Events management was the most common job for graduates from this group of subjects, and so it’s no surprise that graduates from specialist events management courses did better last year than many of the other graduates under this subject umbrella - but all did about as well as graduates on average or a little better. If you want to find out more about specific job paths for your chosen subject area, it's a good idea to go on open days and talk to tutors about what previous graduates went on to do, or to have a look at university department websites.
