The Tourism and Hospitality industries combine to make one of the largest industries in the world. The World Tourism Organisation has estimated that about one job in ten is within this fast growing sector. The economic, social and environmental impact of tourism and hospitality is significant and vital to creating sustainable jobs and quality of life. However, competition within this sector is fierce because customers increasingly require higher standards of service and facilities at competitive rates. Consequently, it is essential that those seeking careers as successful professionals develop a strong business foundation underpinned with first-rate customer service skills.

The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management is a dynamic department, offering students an individual approach to learning in a supportive environment. All programmes combine theoretical understanding of tourism and hospitality issues, and their management, with practical methods of analysis. Students will acquire an understanding of the policies, strategies and leadership aspects required within the international tourism and hospitality industry.
