Course details
About the course
The aim of this programme of study is to develop graduates who have the skills and knowledge to work as senior operators in the hotel, tourism, and travel industries, or progress to further study. This programme has been designed with a focus on graduates developing the work ready skills required by the travel and tourism industry in the Southern region. They will be immersed in real life activities that will build the necessary knowledge, practical skills and confidence while introducing them to local businesses and organisations from the travel, tourism and event management sectors. The programmes focus will be on gaining a job in the industry as much as gaining the qualification.
