    Course Summary

    Ulster University’s BSc in International Travel and Tourism Management was created to supply the travel and tourism industries in Northern Ireland and around the world with the skilled, highly trained manages they need to meet ever growing demand. It is a great choice for students who would like to work in either of these exciting industries in a management, executive or leadership capacity.

    You’ll learn how businesses in the international travel and tourism spaces operate both at home and abroad, and come to understand the tactics that the best of them use to overcome the many challenges they face each year. It is a 4 year program, and you’ll gain quite a bit in that time. When you’ve graduated, you’ll have all of the background knowledge and real world hospitality skills you’ll need to either take a role with a thriving travel and tourism oriented business, or to start your own business in this rapidly growing field.

    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.
