Tourism and Events

An MSc is an internationally respected qualification. In one year you'll develop a strategic understanding of all aspects of tourism and events management. This master's course brings together a social science approach to tourism and events with the development of job-related skills and employability. You’ll complete theoretical modules ‘Tourism Concepts and Issues’ and ‘Current Practices in the Visitor Economy’, and in the final phase of the course you’ll complete a major project personal to your interests and career aspirations. You'll be taught by passionate academics who produce world-leading research. A typical week will include lectures, seminars, study visits and group work. These are supported by a range of guest speakers from diverse academic and industry backgrounds. Compared to an undergraduate course, you'll find that this master's course requires a higher level of independent working. Your progress will be assessed by essays, presentations, portfolios of evidence and a dissertation.
