Description

Hospitality and Tourism is one of the world's biggest industries. It employs over 60 million people globally. This degree will provide students with the skills needed to pursue a management career in this industry. It's the key to travelling the world and immersing themselves in different cultures.

In year one students will explore how business operates and how tourism and hospitality function within that. In their second and third year, they’ll develop specialist knowledge and understand the importance of tourism and hospitality to global economic development. Students will also focus on how sustainability in this industry is important.

At YSJ, they want students to understand the nuances in the tourism and hospitality sub-sectors. To understand this, they’ll take students to some of York’s cultural and heritage sites. This gives them a context for understanding similar offerings around the world. 

Students broaden their experience with field trip opportunities. They’ll take them to venues associated with tourism and hospitality both internationally, and in the UK. 

This course equips students with the skills and knowledge to pursue a management career. Although this course prepares them for managing within the tourism and hospitality industries, the skills are transferable to alternative management roles.
