Course summary
Take a degree that gives you access to careers around the world in the multi-billion pound travel and tourism industry. Our Business Management (Tourism) course will equip you with the skills, knowledge and experience to work in a wide variety of roles. The tourism sector covers everything from hospitality, hotels and visitor attractions to cruises and even space travel. It also involves specialist areas such as HR, understanding consumer behaviour, marketing, data analytics and brochure design. Britain’s travel and tourism industry is worth more than £100 billion. But it is also having to adapt to challenges, including the need for digital innovation. In customer services, for instance, many businesses are now expected to have apps and virtual tours. We will look at some of these technological developments, along with other contemporary issues and future tourism trends. There will also be a field studies trip to apply your knowledge to a real tourism setting. The live briefs will include work with some of Staffordshire’s successful venues, such as the Emma Bridgewater pottery factory and the Wedgwood Museum. And to help give you the edge with employers, we offer double accreditation. It means you’ll get a leadership and management qualification from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) as well as your degree. We offer other amazing opportunities too, including an international study exchange and the chance to gain an employability-focused extra award called Staffordshire EDGE. All the tutors have vast experience working in a variety of industries and bring their knowledge to the classroom. You’ll graduate industry-ready with flexible and transferable skills. The course is part of our suite of Business Management degrees, which share some core modules. Other options include a more broad-based BSc (Hons) Business Management award or degrees specialising in Events, Sustainability, Human Resource Management, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: BSc (Hons) Business Management (Tourism)
