On this course you’ll develop your hospitality business acumen and your strategic thinking in tourism development. You’ll become a socially conscious management professional who’s able to meet tomorrow’s sustainability challenges and customer needs. How you learn All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. Our award-winning teachers have held key management roles in tourism and hospitality. They’re involved in impactful and world-leading research. You’ll be able to understand the latest trends and have the opportunity to apply your knowledge to live projects in collaboration with industry partners – making you stand out to employers. In each year of study you’ll have the opportunity to engage with the industry. You can apply to access placements, volunteering opportunities and work experience through our vast network of industry links. You’ll develop your understanding of consumer behaviour, using key metrics to make sound pricing and business decisions, as well as thinking ahead about a sustainable future for the industry. You’ll also gain the strategic skills you’ll need to shape tomorrow’s tourism and hospitality industry – including crisis management and planning for uncertainty. This will complement a core business focus – including marketing, people management and finance – to make sure you’re industry ready. Applied learning Work placements You’ll have the opportunity to undertake a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This gives you industry experience to prepare you for your future career – and allows you to graduate with an Applied Professional Diploma to add to your CV. Live projects In every year of your course, you’ll have the opportunity to work on live projects to build your skills and professional experience. Previous students have audited accessibility information for Access for All, provided market research for TUI UK and Ireland, reviewed the hospitality offer at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and advised a social enterprise on its catering and outdoor events. Field Trips Field trips are an important part of your studies. They’re the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow students and observe how theory plays out in the real world. Previous students have enjoyed a two-day visit to Malton's food market and York – with talks from the hotel manager and a ghost tour. Networking opportunities You’ll engage with tourism and hospitality industry stakeholders throughout the course. Many modules include guest speakers and you’ll benefit from a close relationship with the industry through our graduate networks and links with professional bodies. Competitions We’ll encourage and support you to take part in external competitions. Recently, one of our students won the prestigious YCO Diamond Research Award – in which 40 countries were competing – based on her final year research project. Other students have won the debating competition at the Passion for Hospitality competition in London and one of our final year students won the prestigious Young Hoteliers Summit challenge award, organised by the École Hôtelière de Lausanne and Marriott International.
