Programme Description
Tourism is currently the number one industry in the global economy. This MA, located in the stunning Greenwich World Heritage Site, has been developed to meet the growing demand for skilled and resourceful managers in the rapidly expanding tourism industry.
Organisations that develop and manage tourism facilities as well as those that provide essential services such as transport facilities and tourist advice are set to expand in the future. While individuals entering this area require a sound grounding in general business principles, there are also specific areas that require a more dedicated set of skills and knowledge.
This programme provides a sound foundation in business and management principles (set within a Business School), and at the same time provides for the development of specific specialist tourism knowledge and skills that are essential for a successful career in tourism management today.
