Why study Tourism at Chester?   

Globally, tourism is one of the fastest growing industries and, in the UK, one of the leading sectors in the economy.

The team that teach Tourism at the University of Chester have built up strong links with local, national and international organisations over a number of years. This enhances the relevance of our Tourism degrees and helps students to ultimately embark upon a career in the tourism industry.

The city of Chester is an internationally renowned tourism destination and a rapidly developing business centre and therefore is an ideal location for studying this exciting industry.

 

Features:   

  • Single Honours students have the option to undertake a year's paid work placement in industry. This will take place between the second and final year.
  • The framework of our tourism degrees has been specifically designed to encourage flexibility and choice, giving students the opportunity to follow a broad, general tourism course, a specific tourism management course, or to tailor their studies towards their particular academic interests or career aspirations.
