BA (Hons) International Tourism and Aviation Management (Top-Up)

Developing students to become lifelong-learners is central to the learning and teaching strategy for the programme and as such, all the learning and teaching methods across the programme are designed to encourage all students to take a more independent approach to their learning.

You will develop a range of academic skills such as: presenting, referencing, research and writing, as well as many skills required by employers such as: communication, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork and the use of IT.

You will also complete a research dissertation on an appropriate topic of your choice.

A typical offer is likely to be 50% average at Foundation Degree or a Merit profile in a relevant HND, together with 5 GCSEs at grade C or above including English (Maths isn’t required).

International qualifications will be assessed against these criteria.

Speakers of other languages need to have an IELTS score of at least 6.0 or a recognised level 2 English qualification.

All students must be able to demonstrate either by qualifications or testing that they have the required literacy skills to complete the course.

All students are to present a portfolio and supporting academic text. This is undertaken during an interview or correspondence for distance applicants.
