Course summary
If you want to work in global tourism or hospitality this is the course for you. In year one you’ll explore how business operates and how tourism and hospitality function within that. In your second and third year, you’ll develop specialist knowledge and understand the importance of tourism and hospitality to global economic development. You’ll also focus on how sustainability in this industry is important. We want you to understand the nuances in the sub-sectors we call tourism and hospitality. To understand this, we’ll take you to some of York’s cultural and heritage sites. This gives you a context for understanding similar offerings around the world.
