Welcome to the "business of tourism". This is a one year (120) course which follows on from the Certificate in Applied Travel and Tourism. This programme incorporates not only the practical aspects of working in the tourism industry from a business perspective, it also applies the theoretical concepts behind them. 90 of the 120 credits required must be gained from the following courses (45 credits must be at Level 5) and the last 30 credits come from the work based research project - a compulsory part of the programme which must be completed before graduation.
