Program Description

Develop an understanding of the products, structure, operation, marketing and management of the tourism industry with an international perspective.  Explore the nature and impact of tourism activity, and strategies for responsible tourism.  You will assess current industry challenges such as the environmental, sociocultural and financial impacts of tourism on a global basis.   Put theory into practice, developing your employability skills including customer service skills. Spend time reflecting on these experiences to further enhance your abilities. Engage with industry practitioners and professionals through guest lecturers, and workshops within modules giving you real life insights. As an international course, you gain an awareness of, and sensitivity to different cultural backgrounds and influences. Your learning is enhanced with global case studies and opportunities to study and work abroad. Assessments are very much based on your future working environment, and include posters, videos, debates and event delivery. Final year students are expected to deliver a presentation at the student conference. We actively support you to go out on an industry placement, study abroad or do an internship (including the latest online bite-sized digital experiences) to help you find your direction and to boost your CV to secure your first graduate role.

Student housing is available at both campuses. 

What will I study?

The course takes either three or four years, depending on placements/study abroad and you cover everything you need to be effective in tourism management.  There are core modules such as in marketing, management and professionalism. You also have the option to choose modules in specialist areas, allowing you to tailor the course to your own interests and career direction. In your first year, you engage in designing the visitor experience and delivering the visitor experience as core modules as well as professionalism in tourism. In your second year, you focus more into key areas for the sector such as sustainability and technology. There is also the opportunity to enjoy an international field trip as a key learning experience.  Your final year has a strong focus on global tourism planning, attraction management and contemporary issues. You’ll also deliver your own visitor experience, working alongside events students.  There are also opportunities to further enrich your personal development through our Go Herts certification program, placements, internships, study-abroad and Future Success team events.
