... Bath Spa University London

Course Overview

Are you a budding business manager or owner? Want to specialise in tourism?

Whatever your aspirations, our Business and Management (Tourism Management) course will give you a good grounding in the theory and practice of business in the context of contemporary tourism. We teach you the theories of business and management in practical ways, ensuring that you’re ready to tackle real-world challenges. You'll engage in hands-on projects and case studies that hone your analytical and problem-solving skills. Along the way, you’ll develop the core skills you need to excel in all kinds of businesses and start to build a clear picture of exactly where those skills could take you.

We’ll help you develop as a person to achieve your potential by teaching you about tourism management and how it works. 

This Business degree offers an Integrated Foundation Year, making it ideal for students who wish to build their skills before transitioning to an undergraduate honors degree in Business and Management. 

Following the Foundation Year, you’ll develop specialist skills, learning to:

  • Evaluate different approaches to destination management

  • Understand contemporary conceptualisations of social change as they relate to tourism

  • Demonstrate your knowledge of a range of emerging tourism forms.

You’ll graduate with potential for employment in different businesses; this could be an organisation, the private or public sector, a charity or possibly your own business. We aim to give you the skills to apply your knowledge in a wide range of situations in any sector.
