Course programme

Year 1
We've designed the first year to give you an introduction to tourism and develop the skills required for your studies. This will include a fieldtrip to Brittany, where we explore the notion of destination image. You will have the opportunity to develop language skills in French, German, Spanish or Mandarin. Not only are graduates with language skills in demand by employers, the ability to engage and understand different cultures is also a valuable skill to possess in an increasingly globalised world.
