Specialist modules cover topics such as responsible tourism, tour operations, and managing attractions and destinations. You will also explore the issues facing international hospitality organisations. Your studies will equip you for roles in the hospitality and tourism industries, which need well-qualified professionals, as well as in general management.

During the second year you will undertake an Advanced Practice consultancy project for a whole semester. These can be related to any business and management discipline, given the generic content of this Masters programme .

There is no requirement to have studied business, hospitality or tourism at undergraduate level and we welcome applications from graduates of any discipline. 

The course is covered by the prestigious AACSB accreditation for Newcastle Business School, which was ‘Business School of the Year’ at The Times Higher Education Awards 2015. 

If you decide to start up your own business, it’s good to know that the combined turnover of our graduates’ start-up companies is higher than that of any other UK university. 

The course could also lead you to a postgraduate research degree such as an MPhil, PhD and Professional Doctorate.

Whatever you decide to do, you will have the transferable skills that employers expect from a master’s graduate from Northumbria University. These include the ability to tackle complex issues through conceptualisation and undertaking research, the ability to contribute to new processes and knowledge, and the ability to formulate balanced judgements when considering incomplete or ambiguous data.
