Learning Outcomes: What will I Study?  

The offering of the BSc (Honours) in Tourism Management course further develops the learners’ key skills, their strategic ability and their knowledge of the tourism management discipline. The BSc course provides a learning environment which builds upon the tourism management discipline at ordinary degree level and encourages a theoretical approach and a research ethos. It provides a course of study that enhances relationships between industry, and the School as a centre of excellence, in the tourism management area.  The course encourages social, ethical and leadership competencies in this specified field.

It is this combination of higher learning outcomes that warrants an Honours award. Through the modules offered students acquire and utilise the additional cognitive skills of evaluation and synthesis, which is applied to the area of tourism management.

“I returned to study as a mature student and have to say it was the best choice for me. The lecturers and support staff were extremely supportive and understanding of the needs of mature students, making college life easy to mix with family and work commitments.

I would recommend the BSc. in Tourism Management to anybody with an interest in business and tourism.  It gave me a great understanding of the travel & tourism industry and helped me build on my knowledge of the business world.  The course has given me the confidence and ability to work with many different groups - including local community festivals, chambers of commerce - and, gain employment in a Heritage Centre/Tourist Office… all within a year of graduating!”

Students who have reached the appropriate honours standard have access to a range of Masters Degrees in TU Dublin and elsewhere in Higher Education.
