Master of Science in Tourism Management

About

The Tourism Management MSc provides in-depth knowledge of the tourism industry, visitor economy processes, strategies, and sustainability that equips our graduates with the knowledge and skills to face these challenges. We prepare students to engage in independent planning, decision-making, and management tasks in tourism-related sectors, readying them to manage development projects in relevant economic fields and organisations, as well as to lead businesses and institutions within the tourism industry. Successful graduates are able to take on organisational and managerial roles in tourism enterprises, local governments, ministries, tourism agencies, destination management organisations, tourism marketing companies, and non-profit organisations. If you are looking to play an active role in shaping the future of tourism, then join the Tourism Management MSc and prepare yourself for a leadership role in this dynamic field. The programme offers general business programmes to provide the broader economic perspective expected of qualified economists, such as strategic and financial management. We will then build on this with specialised tourism management programmes (such as the system of tourism, tourism trends, sustainable development and tourism planning, international hotel and hospitality management, and marketing management in tourism) that will provide comprehensive knowledge of the interconnections within the tourism industry, visitor economy processes, strategies, and sustainability issues. Additionally, across the programme, you will gain in-depth knowledge of management methods and tools in the fields of hotel and hospitality management, event organisation, and destination management.
