Tourism and Events MSc
This Masters course brings together a social science approach to tourism and events with the development of job-related skills and employability. The sectors of tourism and events are increasingly interlinked, with well-staged events like the Olympic Games drawing in large numbers of tourists.
We teach theoretical approaches through modules such as ‘Critical Tourism Theory and Methods’ and ‘International Tourism and Development’. There is also a core module in ‘Events Management Studies’. We organise field trips and company visits to put your learning into context and we offer an optional work-based learning module. The mix of academic rigour and vocational relevance is designed to give you a long-lasting career advantage.
The final phase of the course is a major project that you negotiate with your tutors to reflect your personal interests and career aspirations. For example, your project could have special relevance to the skill sets required by events managers, festival co-ordinators or exhibitions organisers.
