International Tourism and Hospitality Management BSc (Hons)

What impact does tourism have on residents and the environment? Who are the stakeholders you need to think about when developing destinations? How can the sector deal with digitisation and automation?

Join our BSc (Hons) International Tourism and Hospitality Management to address the challenges faced by global tourism businesses and discuss the impact of the digital world on the sector.

You’ll experience first-hand how professionals deal with these challenges successfully. We organise guest lectures and visits to organisations such as St James Court Hotel, Hilton, Mandarin Oriental, Royal Albert Hall, Oxford Artisan Distillery, Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons.

Our teaching team are leaders in this field. They’ll share their research findings, consultancy projects and working experience. You’ll meet other professionals and create your own network by working with our industry mentors and completing a placement in the UK or further afield.

If you want to focus on leading and professional experience, our BSc (Hons) International Tourism and Hotel Management is the right choice for you.

Assessment

Assessment tasks take a variety of forms, reflecting students’ varied learning styles, the programme’s learning outcomes, and the demands of an enquiry-based learning approach, including:

• individual and group assignments

• case studies

• essays

• reports

• presentations

• participation in product design

• and, occasionally, time-restricted assessments.

The need for formative assessment early on in the programme of study, and, indeed throughout the programme is recognised fully, together with the value of feed forward opportunities provided by the programme structure. Face-to-face feedback is used to offer written feedback on at least one module at each level.

Careers

The hospitality and tourism industry is booming. But there’s a big issue – a lack of professionals with the right skills. At Oxford Brookes, we’ll give you the know-how to fill exciting roles around the world.

While you’re with us, we’ll also help you become entrepreneurial. This isn’t about starting your own business, it’s about being enterprising – thinking innovatively, taking responsibility and feeling confident in making decisions. However, if you do want to start your own enterprise, you’ll be in a great position.

Some graduates secure spaces on hospitality management employer graduate schemes, but you’ll also be a great fit for a range of roles like:

• operations manager

• visitor experience manager

• hotel manager

• events manager

• food and beverage manager.
