We bring International Tourism Management to life with inspiring and real experiences. We are passionate about sustainable and responsible tourism management and you will learn, in creative ways, how tourism destinations are managed to be successful, sustainable and competitive.

Our students have given us a 100% satisfaction rating, and this degree course is also accredited by the Tourism Management Institute and recognised by the Institute of Travel and Tourism, showing its close alignment with industry.

Tourism is a fast-paced, competitive industry. We develop outstanding tourism professionals equipped with the skills that future employers are looking for. You'll also leave with valuable experiences that will give you an edge in interview and in the workplace.

Your transformation from new student to future tourism leader will begin from day one. Chester is one of the UK’s leading historic tourism destinations so it is the ideal place to explore tourism marketing, development and management ideas that can be applied across the globe.  

You'll enjoy the chance to shape your career with a work placement in your second year – and if you’d like to broaden your horizons even further, how does a year at Walt Disney World in the sunshine state sound? Just one of our many opportunities for a year’s study abroad, or an industry placement that will enhance your tourism degree and your employment prospects. We have seen our students graduating to positions across the events industry. Alice Tetlow, who works for the Inspiring Travel Company, says: “I flourished as a person at the University of Chester and it was the networking, development of skills, and building of knowledge that has made me who I am today.”
