Bury College University Centre is offering an innovative new International Tourism Management degree specification to help individuals prepare for career progression.
From the next academic year, ambitious undergraduates will have the opportunity to develop the practical skills and knowledge to begin a new career within the tourism industry or progress in their current position. This is an unprecedented time for the Tourism industry, however individuals can be studying for a higher-level qualification ensuring that they are one-step ahead in a sector that will be full of opportunities.
The International Tourism Management BSc (Hons) has been running at the university centre for several years, however it has recently been re-developed to offer the latest industry knowledge required for a successful career within the dynamic tourism sector.
Debbie Matthews, Bury College Assistant Curriculum Manager for Travel and Tourism said, “We’re very excited to be launching the new International Tourism Management degree from 2020, which encompasses the challenging and dynamic aspects of the industry. We provide innovative delivery and assessment methods to enhance the learning experience for each of our students and equip them with the skills and confidence to achieve a rewarding career in the industry.”
An International Tourism Management degree opens up doors to lots of possibilities. Opportunities are diverse and careers can range from tourism and management consultancies, events management, marketing, finance and IT. Many Bury College University Centre graduates have secured careers with leading hotel-chains, international airlines and within local government tourism.
