Admissions staff run walk-in interview sessions for applicants considering the BSc (Hons) Business & Tourism Management with Foundation Year. Preparatory undergraduate study comes first, then modules about tourism demand, visitor environments and commercial skills for tourism employers or small niche ventures. You can attend daytime classes, Saturday or Sunday sessions, or after-work cohorts in Birmingham, Leeds, London or Manchester. Do not confuse this tourism award with a Global Business foundation title that finishes via dissertation, consulting project or internship options. Key facts list multiple cities so you can shortlist the site nearest home. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.
