Tourism is an increasingly important part of our lives, and the tourism industry is one of the few global industries forecast to grow in the long term. Managing this rapidly growing industry to meet visitors’ demands in a sustainable way is exciting and challenging. This well-established course will give you the knowledge, analytical abilities and skills you need to make a career as a tourism professional.

We are proud that the course invariably attracts a cosmopolitan group of students from a wide range of countries, and that our graduates have successful careers all round the world. The course has been top rated in academic audit and is developed with the advice of the tourism industry ? and you will study at the heart of London, perhaps the world’s leading tourism destination, and host city for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The Centre for Tourism Research successfully achieved the maximum score in the last national quality assurance audit, and annual student feedback for the course is very positive, with teaching, staff contact and course content receiving particular praise. This reflects the tourism team’s efforts to provide a valuable and effective course as well as a supportive, friendly and stimulating environment for your studies. All our staff teaching on the course are active researchers, and their teaching is informed by both their own research, and by current ideas and debates.
