Course summary

The MSc Tourism and Hospitality equips you with the skills and knowledge to progress rapidly in tourism and hospitality management. Our course blends a rigorous social science approach with the development of skills that are needed by, for example, restaurant entrepreneurs, resort coordinators, and hotel managers.

Potential employment opportunities include hotel and resort management, attractions and museums, destination marketing agencies, tourism companies, restaurant and bar management, and catering management.

Another option is to set up your own tourism or hospitality business, drawing on the entrepreneurial resources that are available through our Careers and Employability Service. A master's degree will also open up opportunities in academic roles or further study towards a PhD.

Compared to an undergraduate course, you'll find that this master's degree requires a higher level of independent working.

Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)

If you feel you already know some of the topics covered in this course, either due to previous learning or from work experience, you may not need to study all of the course. Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) is the name given to the process of gaining credit towards a qualification because of something you've learnt in the past. If you're eligible for APL, you won't have to learn the same topic again, so you can be exempt from a module, set of modules, or year of a course. If you think you may be eligible for APL, please contact the course leader.

If English isn't your first language, please see our English language requirements.

If you're studying at a study centre, please contact the centre directly for more information on their specific requirements and equivalent qualifications from outside the UK.
