graduates such as Rochelle Turner, who is head of research at the World Travel and Tourism Council and produces reports on tourism’s economic impact to influence governments around the world. Others who completed higher degrees


in tourism management include Xu Jing, who represents the ever-growing Asia Pacific region on the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, and Jeremy Brinkworth, who is tasked with ensuring the 2015 Rugby World Cup brings the same tourism benefits to the UK as the 2012 Olympics. At a company level, we have alumni who have become leaders in HR, marketing, finance, sales and strategy as well as operations in all the major tourism and hospitality companies.


Changing the image of


travel and tourism As a result of success stories such as these, the image of studying tourism at university is changing. Studying tourism at university allows you the chance to think about what you want to become, and to have a chance to make that happen.


We have


exchange opportunities to other countries, one-year paid work placements, masterclasses, networking events, student societies, field trips, mentoring, languages, site visits and live projects to work on. There is a graduate premium that means graduates earn on average £200,000 more than non-graduates over the course of their working lives, but much, much more important is the chance to get a job that will allow you to feel truly fulfilled in your career and to make a positive difference for the future.

“My father was tourism director


for our local town so I think it was in my blood and I worked for an extreme sports sanctioning body as a race official and an activity leader for EF International Language Centres. I decided to study for a degree as I was excit- ed and fascinated by it. Maybe I’ll take the same route as my father, or work in a role that doesn’t exist yet, because that’s what tourism’s like, ever changing!”
