Hospitality and Tourism Management and Business Law

Hospitality and tourism management is a field concerned with the planning, operation, and leadership of some of the world's most economically significant industries. Combining it with business law at the University of Strathclyde gives you both the operational and commercial understanding needed to manage hospitality and tourism businesses and the legal literacy needed to operate responsibly and effectively in complex regulatory environments. This four-year full-time programme will prepare you for leadership roles in a dynamic industry and give you the skills to manage operations and business across hospitality, tourism, and events.

You will study the theory and practice of hospitality and tourism management, covering strategy, operations, marketing, finance, consumer behaviour, and sustainable tourism development. The business law strand develops your understanding of commercial contracts, employment law, consumer protection, property, and the specific regulatory frameworks that affect hospitality and tourism businesses. A year abroad is built into the programme, which is particularly valuable in a discipline where the product and the customer are so deeply shaped by culture and geography, giving you direct experience of hospitality and tourism in a different national context.

A typical tariff of 216 points reflects the competitive nature of this combined degree at Strathclyde.

Graduates from this combination are well placed for management roles in hotels, resorts, events companies, tour operators, airlines, visitor attractions, and convention bureaus. The legal knowledge you gain is an additional asset in roles that involve contracts, compliance, and cross-border operations. Many graduates also pursue postgraduate qualifications in hospitality management, international business, or law, and the transferable analytical and leadership skills the degree develops open doors in consultancy, financial services, and public sector management.
