Subjects

International hospitality management

Tourism management

If you want to work in global tourism or hospitality this is the course for you. In year one you’ll explore how business operates and how tourism and hospitality function within that. In your second and third year, you’ll develop specialist knowledge and understand the importance of tourism and hospitality to global economic development. You’ll also focus on how sustainability in this industry is important.

We want you to understand the nuances in the sub-sectors we call tourism and hospitality. To understand this, we’ll take you to some of York’s cultural and heritage sites. This gives you a context for understanding similar offerings around the world.

Broaden your experience with field trip opportunities. We’ll take you to venues associated with tourism and hospitality both internationally, and in the UK.

Our course equips you with the skills and knowledge to pursue a management career. Although this course prepares you for managing within the tourism and hospitality industries, the skills are transferable to alternative management roles.

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.
