Overview
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.
