Subject

Tourism

The BA (Hons) International Tourism Management degree at Lincoln is designed to provide an insight into the contemporary global tourism industry, including its impact, interdependencies and importance to the economy. Tourism is one of the world’s fastest growing industries, it is worth billions to the global economy and can offer exciting career prospects. This course provides the opportunity to investigate the issues and techniques relevant to the planning and management of international tourism. It is designed to enable students to build a knowledge base through tourism-specific and business-related modules, while optional modules allow students to shape their learning to their own interests and career aspirations. There is an emphasis on developing the critical-thinking and organisational skills needed to run large-scale tourism operations.

Modules

During the first and second years, students have the opportunity to study the tourism experience and the principles of organising people, space and transport, as well as how to manage human resources, protect the environment and understand relevant legal issues and legislation. During the final year students can choose from a wide range of optional modules such as crisis and disaster management or consumer culture, and are expected to complete a dissertation or a collaborative consultancy project. There is also an opportunity to study abroad for a year at a partner university. Students are responsible for their accommodation, travel and general living expenses. For the most up to date module information, please visit the course page for this programme on our website. Some programmes provide you with the opportunity to focus your study in a particular area through optional modules. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.

Assessment methods

The way students will be assessed on this course will vary for each module. It could include coursework, such as a dissertation or essay, written and practical exams, portfolio development, group work or presentations to name some examples. Throughout this degree, students may receive tuition from professors, senior lecturers, lecturers, researchers, practitioners, visiting experts or technicians, and they may be supported in their learning by other students.

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.
