Business Enterprise and Hospitality and Tourism Management

Business enterprise and hospitality and tourism management is a combination that sits at the intersection of entrepreneurial thinking and one of the world's largest and most dynamic industries. Business enterprise focuses on the creation of value through innovation, the challenge of disrupting established markets, and the skills required to build and grow new ventures. Hospitality and tourism management brings those entrepreneurial tools to bear in a sector characterised by high complexity, intense competition, and deep dependence on human experience and service quality.

Together, the two strands produce graduates who can both think creatively about business opportunity and manage the operational realities of a service-driven industry.

At the University of Strathclyde, this four-year full-time programme is designed for students who are drawn both to entrepreneurship and to the global hospitality and tourism sector. You will develop skills in business creation, innovation, and venture management alongside a thorough understanding of how hotels, travel companies, destination organisations, and related businesses operate. A year abroad is built into the programme, giving you international experience and exposure to hospitality and tourism markets beyond the UK, which is invaluable in an industry that is genuinely global in its dynamics.

Graduates from this programme go on to work in hospitality and tourism companies in management and entrepreneurial roles, as well as in travel technology, destination marketing, events, and food and beverage sectors. The enterprise strand also positions graduates well for founding their own ventures or working in start-up environments within and beyond the hospitality sector. Many go on to postgraduate study in business, hospitality management, or tourism, deepening their expertise in preparation for senior leadership or specialist roles.
