International Tourism and Hospitality Management
Tourism and hospitality management together address one of the world's largest and most complex industries. Tourism generates significant economic activity in almost every country, shaping how communities present themselves, manage their environments, and engage with visitors. Hospitality management covers the operation of hotels, restaurants, event venues, and the full range of businesses that serve travellers and guests.
Studied with an international focus, this combination prepares you to work in a genuinely global industry, where understanding different cultures, managing diverse teams, and operating across different regulatory and market environments are everyday requirements.
Wrexham University's three-year full-time International Tourism and Hospitality Management degree includes a foundation year, designed to give you a thorough grounding in the academic and subject knowledge you will need before moving into the main programme. The degree carries a typical entry tariff of 136 points. You will study the principles of tourism management and hospitality operations alongside marketing, finance, human resources, and strategy, all situated within the context of international markets and the management challenges they present.
The foundation year provides additional preparation for students who may be coming from different educational backgrounds or who want extra support at the start of their studies.
Graduates of tourism and hospitality management programmes enter a wide range of careers within the sector, including hotel management, resort management, airline and travel operations, events management, and tourism development roles within local authorities and destination management organisations. The sector is international by nature, and many graduates find that their studies open doors to roles in countries they have studied or visited. Postgraduate study in hospitality management, tourism, events, or business is also an option for those wanting to move into senior management or specialist roles.
