Business Management (Tourism) with a Foundation Year, BSc (Hons)
COURSE OVERVIEW
Does the lucrative tourism industry excite you? Do you see yourself as a manager for a top destination, attracting thousands of customers each year?
The BSc Business Management (Tourism) with a Foundation Year degree at Swansea University could help you achieve this.
If you don’t attain the necessary grades to enrol on to the BSc Business Management (Tourism) course, the BSc Business Management (Tourism) with a Foundation Year degree is for you.
The Foundation Year is an excellent pathway to gaining the required knowledge and skills in business management and tourism, before joining Year 1 students of the BSc Business Management (Tourism) degree within the School of Management.
Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries. According to Visit Britain, the UK alone will have a tourism industry worth over £257 billion by 2025, supporting almost 3.8 million jobs. Your four year course will help you develop the essential knowledge and skills to be part of this lucrative industry within the UK and internationally. You will study subjects such as marketing places and tourism in practice to really help you hone in on what it is to make a destination a success.
The Foundation Year is taught at The College, located next to the School of Management. Once you complete this year, you will move to the School of Management building for the remainder of your studies.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
