Course Overview

This degree course is accredited by the Tourism Management Institute.

Your transformation from a new student to a future tourism leader will begin from day one. Chester is one of the UK’s leading historic tourism destinations so it is the ideal place to explore tourism marketing, development, and management ideas that can be applied across the globe, especially given the challenges of the past few years.

You’ll enjoy the chance to shape your career with a work placement in your second year – and if you’d like to broaden your horizons even further, how does a year at Walt Disney World in the sunshine state sound? Just one of our many opportunities for a year’s study abroad, or an industry placement that will enhance your tourism degree and your employment prospects. We have seen our students graduating to positions across the tourism industry. Recent graduate Niamh Roberts says: “Studying at the University of Chester provided me with the best platform to network with industry professionals, get involved in extracurricular activities, and enhance my employability skills. I highly recommend the course – it certainly has shaped me into the person I am today.”

Benefit from our close links with tourism bodies like the Tourism Management Institute, which we are accredited, our links with industry experts, and exciting placement opportunities.
