How you’ll learn
You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and practical sessions. You will typically have around 12-14 contact hours per week depending on what modules you select.
Seminars in smaller groups will enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures. In addition, you will meet with your academic personal tutor.
All programmes are informed by the University’s Learning and Teaching Strategy 2015-2022.
When not attending lectures, seminars, workshops or other timetabled sessions you will continue learning through self-study. Typically, this involves reading journal articles and books, undertaking research in the library, working on projects, and preparing for coursework assignments/examinations, workshops and seminars.
Your module tutor will direct you towards specific readings and/or activities to complete before class.
For the final year individual study/research project in year three, you will undertake independent research. You will work under the supervision of a member of the course team. You will meet with your supervisor regularly.
Your overall workload typically consists of 12-14 contact hours, depending on what module you take. For each 20 credit module, your study time is about 10 hours a week. During the duration of the residential field trips, the workload will be more intense, as these modules are mostly done during the trip.
The lecturing team consists of highly qualified academics. They have a range of expertise and experience. Many members have staff have worked in the tourism industry and this enables to bring industry relevant knowledge to their lectures.
All our team members either hold a doctoral, masters and teaching qualifications. They have experience in delivering research-informed teaching. Most members of staff are widely travelled and come from or have lived in a variety of countries, making them ideal to teach the subjects in tourism. You should note members of the teaching team might change.
Our students are supported in an inclusive learning environment where they apply their knowledge with theories, concepts and industry practices. Our dedicated and experienced academic team provide our students unique opportunities to enhance their university experience and academic excellence.Dr Shola OsinaikeCourse Director

Your future career
Career advice is embedded in our curriculum with the help of our Employability and Careers Service. Our past students have entered a wide range of roles, both in the public and private sectors, locally, nationally and internationally.
These include hotel manager, resort manager, restaurant manager, tourist officer, destination manager, travel writing, tour manager, regional tourist managers (i.e. Visit Kent), tourism exhibition management, visitor attraction marketing, niche event specialist, managers of their own businesses.
The course gave me a good insight of the hospitality and tourism industry. So when I started working in a hotel there are many things that I could relate with. Even the assignments are not only theory based, they are also applicable in the workplace. For this reason, I decided to go a step further to enhance my career opportunities and success, by enrolling in the Masters course.PatricioGraduate
