• Tourism Management & the Natural Environment : You’ll critically reflect upon the significance and impact of tourism on a variety of ecosystems; the use of animals in tourism, the ways in which tourism can be successfully managed to ensure it contributes to the goals of biodiversity and conservation; and the relationship between climatic changes and tourism development. 

Please note that option units require minimum numbers in order to run and may only be available on a semester by semester basis. They may also change from year to year.

You have the option to undertake a 30-week placement at the end of the course, providing an opportunity to apply your acquired knowledge and skills in the workplace. You are required to find your own placement; however, our Careers & Employability Service and your faculty placements office are on hand to support you.

The placement is intended to foster personal and professional development, and to help you to make a connection between academic learning and the working world.

Optional study abroad

Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity to experience a new country and culture while continuing your degree. If you choose the study abroad option, you will complete a semester (around 3 months) overseas at one of our partner institutions. 

If you start your course in September, you will complete semester one and two at BU then finish for the summer break. You will start the study abroad option in September of your second year, at the same time as completing your dissertation and complete the course in January of the second year. 

If you start your course in January, you will complete semester one, break for summer and then complete semester two at BU. You will start the study abroad option in January of your second year, at the same time as completing your dissertation and complete the course in July of the second year. 

You can choose to study abroad or take the optional work placement but not both.

What job roles can you expect?

Students are capable of taking on a very wide range of work – from operational to managerial roles, in a variety of environments. This includes with hotels, tour operators, event companies, in the recruitment sector, finance or marketing departments.

The placement should be a paid job but voluntary work can be just as enjoyable.

We provide a lot of support for you to help you find work, including a block of seminars, covering topics such as writing a CV and a cover letter, completing an application form, performing well in interviews, and we also provide language support to assist you with the written elements of your applications.

However, it is ultimately your responsibility to find work. The university does not guarantee that you will find a place. Some students may choose to opt for a taught unit instead of placement. 

During your time on placement you will be supported by a unit tutor and a placement development advisor who will visit you on placement and keep in touch by phone and email.

International students

If you choose to do a placement as part of your course:

If you have previously studied in the UK, we will consider any study limit that may apply. We will issue your CAS according to the length of time you are entitled to under UKVI regulations (if you do not have enough time left for a work placement year, we will issue your CAS to cover your course dates only).

If you decide after you have enrolled on your course that you do not want to do a placement, this will be reported to the UKVI when you have successfully completed your course.

If you choose not to do a placement as part of your course:

We will note this on your CAS and your visa will only be granted long enough to cover your taught course, excluding placement.

If you change your mind while you are here and decide you want to do a placement, you will need to leave the UK to make a new Tier 4 visa application for the additional year of study. You would need to pay for your return travel back to your home country, as well as the cost of a new Tier 4 student visa application.

How will my degree reflect sustainability and sustainable development?

The Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) – established under the UN Global Compact – places a clear onus on Higher Education to ‘transform management education and develop the responsible decision-makers of tomorrow to advance sustainable development ’. The Business School is a PRME signatory, and we seek to influence professional practice and policy nationally and internationally, helping to drive key societal, economic and environmental impacts.

Our mission is ‘to empower communities to apply business knowledge for positive societal impact’ and we work constantly to embed practical actions into our curriculum, to promote sustainability and relate these to the key ideas of sustainability, as reflected in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes now reflect one or more of the SDG, and our research is targeted to solve real world problems, mapped against the criteria used in the Times Higher Education’s Impact Ranking. 

The most recent annual league table for Sustainability - compiled by People & Planet, the UK’s largest student campaigning network - again places Edinburgh Napier in a top 3 position among Scotland’s 19 universities. This reflects their assessment of our performance across a range of environmental and ethical considerations, which include carbon reduction and management, and education.

What is distinct about equality, diversity and inclusion?

Edinburgh Napier University is enriched by the diversity of perspectives, cultures and backgrounds brought by all within our global community. We are committed to a positive environment where diversity and inclusiveness is celebrated and everyone is treated fairly regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, disability, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, marital or civil partnership status or whether pregnant or on maternity leave. We commit ourselves to providing a learning, working and social environment that is free from discrimination, prejudice, intimidation, stigmatisation and all forms of harassment and bullying.

The Business School's vision: 'To be the Business School for empowerment, enterprise and employability for all'.

Learning & Teaching

Learning Strategies

Postgraduate students are expected to take increased responsibility and ownership for their own learning.  The course structure and teaching strategies are designed to encourage greater student evaluation of content than at undergraduate level. Lectures are used to deliver information to students, whilst tutorials, seminars, workshops and case studies are used to develop higher cognitive capabilities.

Postgraduate students are required to undertake greater independent reading around their subjects and to critically evaluate the material throughout the programme. Practical exercises given to the students are more investigative in nature, require greater skills of analysis and synthesis and require the results to be put into a broader context than is expected of students at undergraduate level.

All non-lecture sessions require students to participate and contribute both prior to and during the sessions. Where groupwork is appropriate, students become aware of self-management and also group dynamics and the team approach to problem solving. Underlying these activities is the desire to utilise the experience, opinions and knowledge of the student body and to provide a creative context for the collaborative exploration and development of ideas.

Within the overall programme aims, students are encouraged to evaluate their own learning needs.  Students are encouraged to seek many additional sources of information and then critically evaluate the knowledge obtained. The benefits of a self-analytical approach to learning and the process of learning, as well as the product, are emphasised.

Across the programme, the aim is to develop active and independent learners who can:

• Set their own goals by identifying their own learning needs and relevant issues for study;
• Reflect critically on theory in the light of their professional experience;
• Manage and evaluate their studies.

Study Skills

Dedicated study skills support is available from Cardiff School of Management’s Personal Tutoring team and, for international (non-EU) students, from the International Office.

The extant CSM Personal Development Planning (PDP) Strategy is designed to build upon current good practices that allow students to monitor, build and reflect upon their personal development. Elements of PDP will be embedded in modules such as Research Methods, Industry Project Management, Tourism, Hospitality and Events Indsutries in Context and Internship . This approach should ensure that students develop their personal reflection and to ensure that they have the appropriate knowledge and understanding, cognitive skills, practical and professional skills and transferable skills to operate within a tourism or hospitality management position.

Teaching Strategies

The programme has been designed to facilitate student learning that takes place against a background of professional expertise, exposure and commitment and internationalism. Whilst Wales is often used as a case study, the teaching team place great emphasis on contrasting Welsh industry practices with alternative international examples. The pedagogic approach combines lectures, seminars, workshops, tutorials, case studies, guest speakers, field visits and groupwork, as well as independent study. The overall philosophy of the programme is based on student-centred learning which will provide students with the optimal opportunity to utilise and extend their experience within a participative learning environment.

Lectures Lectures contribute to the teaching strategies for the programme. They are an effective way of delivering core material and establishing a framework for a module against which other material can be set. Students are issued with a Module Handbook which outlines the content of each module and a list of the topics to be covered as well as sources of additional material (required and recommended reading). Members of staff aim to present lecture material in as effective and stimulating a manner as possible. Thus, use is made of presentation software, e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint, and all lecture rooms on the Llandaff campus have appropriate data projection equipment. Lecturers make their notes and other resources available on Blackboard which students can download as required.

Seminars Seminars involve student(s) presenting previously-prepared work to peers and a lecturer. This strategy is used to extend specific theoretical or practical concepts as well as incorporating problem-solving approaches into the programme. Seminars are used to provide students with valuable experience in presentational skills as well as providing staff with a method of assessing student-centred learning.

Workshops Practical workshops are used to develop skills in a supportive environment where students can get feedback from a member of academic staff. Practical workshops represent a valuable bridge between theory and practice.

Tutorials These are meetings of a student or group of students with a lecturer or lecturers to: expand on material covered in lectures through an enquiry-driven problem solving approach appropriate to the needs of postgraduate students; include additional work to overcome deficiencies in a student's background knowledge.

Case Studies Case studies are a learning and teaching strategy which can be employed within a variety of teaching methods. Students may be presented with a real or simulated complex problem which they will have to analyse in detail and suggest/present their own solutions.

Guest Speakers Guest lecturers from the public, private and voluntary sectors also participate in the learning and teaching process.  They enhance award delivery by introducing a sense of the outside world into the learning and teaching process.  Students are also encouraged to join appropriate professional associations (e.g. Tourism Society, Institute of Hospitality) and to participate in the School research ethos through internal research seminars.

Field Visits Visits to a range of tourism, hospitality and events organisations and other sites will be arranged to provide students with an opportunity to see some of the theory they have studied being implemented in the work-place in a variety of settings.

Groupwork For some modules, a specific and substantial element of the learning process takes place through students working and learning as part of a team.  Whilst each team will have an allocated tutor, the team members are responsible for managing team performance. Groupwork provides support for individual students, allows confidence building, negotiating skills and generally enhances the learning process. The ability to work as part of a team is vital in many of the career paths within tourism, hospitality and events management. Groupwork may be required for: presentations, reports, collating information or critically evaluating research.

Student Support

The primary basis of student support is to be provided by the Programme Director, Year Tutors and the associated administrative resources. In addition, support will be provided by:

• CSM Personal Tutors
• Cardiff Met’s International Office, who offer English Language and welfare support for International students
• An induction programme
• Student handbook and module handbooks
• Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment
• Library and study skills packages
• Library and learning resources of Cardiff Metropolitan University and Cardiff University (by arrangement)
• Specialist computing facilities including interactive and multi-media labs
• A 24-hour open access IT facility on the Cyncoed and Llandaff campuses
• Unlimited worldwide web access

All procedures and requirements regarding assessment are contained within CSM’s School Assessment Procedures, which reflects Cardiff Metropolitan University’s Academic Handbook.

The role of assessment is threefold; to monitor student performance as they proceed through the programme, to provide feedback to students and to measure the level of attainment at the end of the programme. To achieve these objectives the assessment adopted by the Programme Team involves a range of coursework which are designed to give students the opportunity to submit evidence of reflective thought, reading, analysis and problem-solving abilities, in addition to relating their academic studies to their actual work experience.

Assessments will relate directly to learning outcomes and one assessment will usually cover a range of learning outcomes.  Candidates will be assessed in taught modules and, for the MSc students, by means of an Independent Research Project.

In designing and deciding upon an assessment format for a module the following have been considered:

• The module learning outcomes and their level, with particular emphasis on the student’s ability to analyse, synthesise, evaluate and communicate information derived from:
• module content;
• learned knowledge from other areas/qualifications;
• experience;
• the implementation of systematic information-seeking strategies.
• Opportunities for students to apply their skills to specific industry/business problems.
• Problem-solving skills developed systematically to resolve these problems.
• Assessment performance criteria, as communicated to the student in the assessment briefs.
• The validity and reliability of the assessment methods, which are monitored by module leaders and programme teams via performance indicators; including Module Evaluation forms and external examiner comments.
• Time constraints and the need to ensure consistency.
• The use of a range of strategies through which a student can demonstrate what he/she understands or can do.
• The need for assessment to allow for review and reflection by the student.

To this end there is a strong emphasis on coursework rather than assessment by final examination.

Assessments take the form of essays, group and individual presentations, group and individual reports, a research proposal, reflective portfolios and an Independent Research Project

Employability & Careers

All students undertake a live consultancy project through the Industry Project Management module, which provides an opportunity to engage with employers in the industry.

Student have the option to undertake the Internship module. The duration of this (unpaid) internship is either for a minimum of 20 days, which will normally be undertaken during term-time one day a week throughout semester one and semester two or in blocks of time during the semester breaks.

Alternatively, the students can undertake an internship (paid or unpaid) for the duration of 10-12 weeks (usually engaging in a full time role in an organisation) and this will normally be completed during semester three which would mean that the engagement with the final project would be deferred until September when the internship is completed and 120 credits are awarded.

Students undertake operational, supervisory and if possible, management tasks and duties within the organisation; During their internship students are expected to follow the same work pattern as other employees in the organisation and to perform routine work consistent with that which they aspire to on successful completion of their programme of study.  They will also undertake a work based project tailored to meet the needs of the organisation.

Students can opt for an individual consultancy project as their final project.

The majority have students have progressed to managerial roles within the industries.

The legal basis for collection and processing of any information collected and processed by TC Global including the Personal Information is (i) your consent at the time of providing the Personal Information; (ii) where it is in our legitimate interests to do so and not overridden by your rights (for example, in some cases for direct marketing, fraud prevention, network and information systems security, responding to your communications, the operation of networks of groups by the network administrators, and improving our Site). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect information about you or may otherwise need the information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

First party cookies are the cookies served by the owner of the domain. In our case, that's TC Global. Any cookie we place ourselves is a "first-party cookie."

Third-party cookies are cookies placed on our domains by trusted partners that we've allowed to do so. These can be social media partners, advertising partners, security providers, and more. And they can be either "session cookies" or "permanent cookies":

Session cookies only exist until you close your browser, ending what's called your "session." Then they're deleted.

Permanent cookies have a range of lifespans and stay on your device after the browser is closed. On the Site, we try to only serve permanent cookies (or allow permanent cookies to be served by third parties) that have a limited lifespan. However, for security reasons or in other exceptional circumstances, sometimes we may need to give a cookie a longer lifespan.

Web browser cookies may store info such as your IP address or other identifiers, your browser type, and info about the content you view and interact with on digital services. By storing this info, web browser cookies can remember your preferences and settings for online services and analyze how you use them.

Along with cookies, we also use tracking technologies that are very similar. Our Site may contain small transparent image files or lines of code that record how you interact with them. These include "web beacons," "scripts," "tracking URLs," or "software development kits" (known as SDKs):

Web beacons have a lot of different names. They might also be known as web bugs, tracking bugs, tags, web tags, page tags, tracking pixels, pixel tags, 1x1 GIFs, or clear GIFs. In short, these beacons are a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your device as part of a web page request, in an app, an advertisement, or an HTML email message. They can be used to retrieve info from your device, such as your device type, operating system, IP address, and the time of your visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser or to trigger the placement of a cookie.

Scripts are small computer programs embedded within our web pages that give those pages a wide variety of extra functionality. Scripts make it possible for the website to function properly. For example, scripts power certain security features and enable basic interactive features on our website. Scripts can also be used for analytical or advertising purposes. For example, a script can collect info about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit or what you search for.

Tracking URLs are links with a unique identifier in them. These are used to track which website brought you to the Site. An example woold be if you clicked from a social media page, search engine, or one of our affiliate partners' websites.

Software Development Kits (SDKs) are part of our apps' source code. Unlike browser cookies, SDK data is stored in the app storage. They're used to analyze how the apps are being used or to send personalized push notifications. To do this, they record unique identifiers associated with your device, like your device ID, IP address, in-app activity, and network location.

All these tracking technologies are referred to as "cookies" here in this Cookie Statement. However, no Personal Information identifying the user is collected nor any data capture mechanisms are employed. The user may change browser settings to accept or reject cookies on personal preference. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify the browser setting to decline cookies if you so prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of the Site that may depend on cookies. If you choose to accept cookies, you also have the ability to later delete cookies that you have accepted. If you choose to delete cookies, any settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, will be deleted and may need to be recreated. We process and keep all data for our own use and, if you wish to opt-out from tracking by TC Global you can do so at [email protected]
