MSc International Business with Tourism Management

About the course

As the business world morphs to accommodate the dynamic economic environment of today, this course introduces non-specialists to a range of business functional areas so that you can become a knowledgeable and effective manager.

You will develop a deep understanding of organisations and their external context. You will also learn how to manage yourself, and others, in a supportive academic environment.

The course focuses on developing an awareness of business operations in an international environment, the tourism policies governing international business and investments, finance and cultural awareness in global contexts.

There are six entry points through the year. This allows you to start when it is most suitable.

How will I be assessed?

A number of different assessment methods will contribute to your development. This will be a demanding but very rewarding experience.

The intensive character of this Course’s delivery is consistent with the needs of today’s world for graduates who accumulate knowledge fast and are able to express the outcome of this process in a way that is meaningful and comprehensive. You will have a week of intensive direct contact time followed by your own contribution through individual learning, which will take you to your first assessment point. At the end of your six-week block, your final assessment will be due.

The aim is to develop both knowledge and skills to support your entry to employment as confident managers. The units on this course therefore use varied combinations of assessment types for both formative and summative purposes to enrich the learning experience.
