Business functions inside tourism and hospitality — how areas of an organisation fit together and how management keeps operations running — describe the BSc (Hons) International Tourism and Hospitality Management Top Up. International in the title is subject language for UK home students. You need relevant Level 5 credit such as an HND or Foundation Degree before this final stage. Full-time weekday study is listed in London, with a January intake on record. Notes point to global, regional and local market issues and to current research debates, without job guarantees. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.

For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs. Eligibility depends on residency and previous study; use our free eligibility checker before you apply. If you used student finance for earlier study, that can affect what you can borrow, so we check your position first.
