BSc International Hospitality and Tourism Management
About this course
International hospitality and tourism management is the study of two of the world's largest and most dynamic industries, which together account for a significant share of global economic activity and employment. Hospitality encompasses hotels, restaurants, food and beverage services, and event management. Tourism spans destination management, travel, cultural and heritage tourism, and the complex supply chains that bring visitors to places around the world. Both industries operate globally, require sophisticated operational management, and are being transformed by digital technologies, changing consumer expectations, and sustainability pressures. At Surrey, one of the UK's most highly regarded institutions for hospitality and tourism, this three-year full-time programme develops the management skills and industry knowledge needed to lead in these sectors. You will study the economics and management of hospitality and tourism businesses, consumer behaviour, service quality, revenue management, and the strategic challenges facing the industries globally. The curriculum integrates an awareness of how artificial intelligence and digital tools are reshaping the workplace, building the digital literacy that employers across both industries increasingly require. Surrey's strong industry connections and its dedicated facilities for hospitality management provide a distinctive educational environment. Graduates are well placed for management roles across the hospitality and tourism industries, including hotel management, food and beverage, event management, destination management, and travel consultancy. The programme's international orientation prepares you for careers that cross national boundaries, a significant advantage in industries that are inherently global. Many graduates also move into roles in consultancy, public sector tourism development, and related commercial areas. Surrey's alumni network is a significant asset for those entering these competitive and interconnected industries.
