Course summary

The BA (Hons) International Tourism Management degree at Lincoln is designed to provide an insight into the contemporary global tourism industry, including its impact, interdependencies and importance to the economy. Tourism is one of the world’s fastest growing industries, it is worth billions to the global economy and can offer exciting career prospects. This course provides the opportunity to investigate the issues and techniques relevant to the planning and management of international tourism. It is designed to enable students to build a knowledge base through tourism-specific and business-related modules, while optional modules allow students to shape their learning to their own interests and career aspirations. There is an emphasis on developing the critical-thinking and organisational skills needed to run large-scale tourism operations.

Modules

During the first and second years, students have the opportunity to study the tourism experience and the principles of organising people, space and transport, as well as how to manage human resources, protect the environment and understand relevant legal issues and legislation. During the final year students can choose from a wide range of optional modules such as crisis and disaster management or consumer culture, and are expected to complete a dissertation or a collaborative consultancy project. There is also an opportunity to study abroad for a year at a partner university. Students are responsible for their accommodation, travel and general living expenses.

Additional fee information

For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs. With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost.
