    Course Summary

    Queen Margaret University’s BA (or BA with Honours) degree in International Hospitality and Tourism Management is a great way to prepare yourself for a career in a rapidly growing industry. Not only will you gain practical skills in business management generally and relating to the tourism and hospitality industries specifically, you’ll learn how to anticipate the way changes in the political, social and economic spheres will affect your industry and your business in particular.

    In the early parts of the program you’ll study managing resources, money and people in a tourism or hospitality business. You’ll experience a placement in a 5-star hotel in year one, as well as a placement in a world leading cookery school’s kitchens.

    In the latter half of the program, your studies will focus more on management techniques and how to meet the unique challenges of this industry. You’ll also produce a dissertation on a topic of your choice.

    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.

    Learning & Teaching

Years 2 and 3 both consist of approximately 10% taught and 52% independent learning. The remaining 38% will consist of work placements. Year 4 is 12% taught and 88% independent learning.

    Taught modules will include large lectures and smaller, more interactive seminars. Many will also involve the Hub and Learning Resource Centre.

    Career Possiblities

    The International Hospitality and Tourism industries together contribute around £4.2 billion to the Scottish Economy alone, and many times that to the UK as a whole. That figure is growing quickly, and skilled graduates of this program rarely spend long looking for suitable work. You’ll have what it takes to manage a small tourism business in Scotland, or you could aim much higher – such as managing a major hotel chain in Dubai.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 3 year BA or a 4 year BA (Hons) degree.

    Applicants must typically have earned 3 A Levels at BCC or higher, but other qualifications are also accepted. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An IELTS score of 6.0 overall and no element scoring less than 5.5 would qualify, for example.
