International Hospitality and Tourism Management

About

Want to be a leader in a fascinating and fast-growing global industry? On this course you will learn the business management skills that the best employers in international hospitality and tourism are looking for, enjoy close support and supervision from our staff and gain practical experience on a 20-week internship in the UK or abroad.

The course, in partnership with Dakota Hotels, has a unique Student Experience Fund that helps pay for a range of extra-curricular student activities across the four-years. Enjoy lunch in a Michelin star restaurant, trips to a range of visitor attractions and even taste the produce on a brewery and distillery tour as part of your studies at QMU.

Our classes are small compared with some other universities, so you will enjoy more personal engagement with lecturers. We will know you by name and help manage your learning from your first lecture to graduation.

More people visit Edinburgh than any other UK city after London, and you will study on a campus that is six minutes from the centre of town.

It is the perfect place to learn your tourism and hospitality management trade.
Our graduates are usually in employment or further training soon after graduating and many are making names for themselves in highly respected hospitality and tourism businesses, in the UK and across the world, including DisneyWorld, Hilton, Malmaison, VisitScotland and Gleneagles.

In the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022, we are ranked in the top 20 UK universities for Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation and Tourism (15th out of 56).

At QMU we have a strong commitment to social justice and the environment. The academic team believe passionately that business can make good profits, maintain a focus on the people they serve and play a positive role in the future of our environment. This ethos is woven throughout the course and the team believe that this approach leaves our graduates in a very strong position to manage businesses in the future.
