    Bournemouth University

    Bournemouth University got its start as Bournemouth Municipal College in the early 1900s. However, its rise to greatness really started in the 1970s.

    Course Summary

    Bournemouth University offers an MSc program in International Hospitality & Tourism Management that is in many ways the counterpart to their BA program of the same name. The MSc program is a ‘conversion’ course, and is designed for students who have at least on undergraduate degree, but not one that deals with hospitality or tourism management. It essentially teaches you how to manage a business within this growing industry.

    It is intensive, and will give you a solid understanding of the industry at the same time that it provides you with a detailed knowledge of the challenges organisations in this industry face. Of course, you’ll also learn the industry’s best-practice management techniques to overcome those challenges.

    BU’s Business School is fully accredited by the AACSB, something reserved for the top 5% of business schools worldwide. The AACSB only certifies those programs which achieve true excellence in all measurable areas, and deliver truly world class student learning outcomes.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    The second is whether to engage n work placement for a 30 week period, gaining real world skills.

    Career Possibilities

    Bournemouth University’s International Tourism and Hospitality graduates typically have a career plan mapped out already. Some enter into large hospitality or tourism organisations with a ‘fast track to management’ because of their advanced degree. They typically become Hotel Managers, Tourism Mangers or Human Resources specialists. Others return to a family business or previous career in a more responsible role, able to take that operation to new heights with their advanced business skills.

    Entry & Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 1 year MSc degree. Applicants must typically have achieved a 2:2 or better undergraduate degree, or the international equivalent. Beyond that, a wide range of qualifications are accepted. International qualifications for this course can be found here. All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by achieving an IELTS score of 6.0 overall and no less than 5.5 in any one section.
