Tourism Management, BSc - 2016/17

The Tourism Management programme has been designed in response to the growing demand for this popular field of study and reflects the need to provide well qualified graduates to meet the challenges of the growing tourism industry. The programme includes both theoretical and vocational perspectives, combining courses on the patterns and problems of tourism with those providing the necessary skills of business and management. Canterbury Christ Church University is an excellent place in which to study tourism management, located as it is in one of Britain’s most important and most visited historic cities and also being close to the Kent coast, the Channel Tunnel and Europe and the East Kent countryside. All of these places provide important sites for student visits and fieldwork. In addition to local fieldwork, students in the second year are also required to participate in a week-long residential field course which examines tourism management issues in a different environment. For the last few years, this course has been held in Malta. The quality of teaching is enhanced by a vigorous and rapidly growing programme of research activity and consultancy and the Department’s involvement in Kent Tourism. A friendly interest is taken in student welfare and staff are regularly available for academic and personal advice.
