Overview

What are the techniques and tools to analyse and improve operational capabilities of hospitality organisations? What impact does tourism have on residents and the environment? Who are the stakeholders you need to think about when developing destinations? How can the sector deal with digitisation and automation? Join our BSc International Hospitality and Tourism Management to meet the challenges faced by global hospitality and tourism businesses and discuss the impact of the digital world on the sector.

You’ll experience first-hand how professionals deal with these challenges successfully. We organise guest lectures and visits to organisations such as St James Court Hotel, Mandarin Oriental, Royal Albert Hall, Oxford Artisan Distillery, Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons, Blenheim Palace, and Bodleian Libraries.

Our teaching team are leaders in this field. They’ll share their research findings, consultancy projects and working experience. You’ll meet other professionals and create your own network by working with our industry mentors and completing a placement in the UK or further afield.

Careers

The hospitality and tourism industry is booming. But there’s a big issue – a lack of professionals with the right skills. At Oxford Brookes, we’ll give you the know-how to fill exciting roles around the world.

While you’re with us, we’ll also help you become entrepreneurial. This isn’t about starting your own business, it’s about being enterprising – thinking innovatively, taking responsibility and feeling confident in making decisions. However, if you do want to start your own enterprise, you’ll be in a great position.
