You’re looking for a course that excites and interests you. But it needs to enhance your employment prospects too.

Our full-time Business with Tourism Management degree will do just that. You’ll graduate with a sound knowledge of the tourism industry, the ability to adapt to trends, and contacts that will benefit you throughout your career.

Whether you want to manage a remote hotel in the Maldives, take charge of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, or start a sightseeing business in Chicago, studying Business with Tourism Management can turn your dreams into reality.

As a tourism graduate, the possibilities are endless. You could choose to work in events planning, outdoor leisure management, destination marketing, consultancy, tourism analysis – or the wider field of business management.

Throughout our BSc (Hons) Business with Tourism course, you’ll benefit from seminars and support on CV preparation, job-hunting and more. We also host employer visits and guest speakers, giving you the chance to enhance your knowledge of the job market, and build networks for your future career.

Graduation doesn’t need to be the end of your time with us. You might decide to stay at ARU and study for a Masters, such as our MSc Marketing or MSc Project Management. Take advantage of our Alumni Scholarship and get 20% off your fees.

Employability and personal career development

Informed by employers, our courses support an integrated approach to employability. You’ll have opportunities to develop the skills and abilities they are looking for and gain a deeper understanding of how your academic learning relates to the world of work through Live Briefs and Ruskin Modules.

To amplify your career ambition, you will need to actively dedicate time outside of your studies, whether you choose to explore an ARU Certificate for Professional Development, placements, internships or volunteering. Or you could make a social impact by collaborating with our partner organisations through our volunteer scheme Students at the Heart of Knowledge Exchange (SHoKE). These all give you an edge, providing you with experience that you will be able to evidence on your CV and talk about in interviews.

Our Employability and Careers Service offers a range of expert advice and support to build your unique professional profile, including tailored career appointments, advice on writing your CV, and help to complete job applications. You’ll have 24/7 access to the Careers Centre, our comprehensive online digital resource, which empowers you to start building a Personal Career Development Plan from the very start. Design your future at ARU.
