Introduction

For a list of Study Centres please click here.

This programme has been designed for students who have already completed a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma or equivalent within a tourism discipline. It consists of one module which is a research project that aims to encourage critical reflection, analysis and research techniques.

The programme applies a social scientific approach to both tourism and hospitality studies through a focus on the contexts of globalisation, commercialisation and consumption.

A particular strength of the programme is the consideration of the linkages between the travel, tourism and hospitality industries in relation to organisation and management, as well as in providing satisfactory experiences to consumers.
