Course Overview

The expansion of the tourism industry – nationally and locally – means there will continue to be a need for trained graduates in this field. In the future, this will increasingly focus on how tourism impacts the natural world and how environmental change may affect tourism and tourism development.

Graduates in Environmental Change and Tourism are well suited to various careers associated with both the natural world and the tourism industry. Within the tourism industry, these could include tourism marketing, arts/heritage/attractions management, tour operations, tourism product development, public sector tourism, urban regeneration, resort/destination management, transportation, or hotel and hospitality management. Practical, numerical, and computational skills and knowledge and understanding of the natural environment are valued by many employers. In particular, with the increasing demands of legislation and global environmental policy, there are growing employment opportunities in environmental management and consultancy.

In addition, this degree develops valuable transferable skills, which prepare students for many graduate jobs and other careers in both the private and public sectors.

There are also increasing opportunities to study Environmental Change and Tourism at the postgraduate level, and many of our students train to be Geography or Tourism and Leisure teachers.
