Programmer Objectives
The MSc Tourism and Hospitality programmer has been designed to facilitate a combination of real-world experience and critical reflection through fieldwork and classroom-based activities.
The programmer applies a social scientific approach to both tourism and hospitality studies through a focus on the contexts of globalization,commercialization and consumption.
A particular strength of the programmer is the consideration of the linkages between the travel, tourism and hospitality industries in relation to organisation and management, as well as in providing satisfactory experiences to consumers.
