What can you do with a Business Management and Tourism degree?

How can ARU help with my employability and career development?

Teaching and modules

Our first-year modules are designed to develop the knowledge you already have, and give you a broad understanding of the key concepts of business and organisational management.

We’ll then turn our attention towards tourism-specific knowledge and skills. We’ll cover several different types of tourism, including those that draw visitors to Cambridge.

We’ll also look at the factors impacting, and impacts of tourism, while continuing to build your general business know-how.

You’ll complete your degree with a major project, where you’ll address a current, complex business issue alongside your peers.
