Effective leaders, managers, citizens and employees need to be capable of basing their decision-making on information and knowledge derived from research. The aim of this module is to contribute to the research knowledge and skills appropriate for a taught master's programme and relevant for careers in professional or management roles. The participant is required to produce a dissertation, at an advanced level, based on independent research. This should demonstrate an understanding of the philosophy and core principles of research (empirical or non-empirical) and show their competence in the design, execution and reporting of a research-based dissertation. In this way the participant’s ability is developed to carry out subsequent research, independently and to commission, manage and evaluate the research activities of others. Therefore, the knowledge and skills acquired in the module and of producing the project, will contribute to the student's effectiveness throughout her/his career.

This module provides an in-depth investigation into the sustainable development of tourism. It looks at the underpinning theories, practical techniques and current issues which are of relevance to those seeking to develop tourism resources at a national, regional and sub-regional level. Students will encounter a wide range of issues related to the development of tourism in both the public and private sectors. The module also aims to provide a rigorous understanding of the implications of tourism development and to deliver a detailed critical examination and evaluation of techniques and methods available to planners and developers of tourism.

Potential Career Paths

In the first instance, the course enables you to have a wider range of employment sector outcomes in either more traditional hospitality careers, or the tourism management area. Employability is incorporated in all the subject specific modules that seek to engage students with hospitality and tourism management discourse for future employment and continuing personal and professional development. Some aspects of the course include live project simulation in which you will engage with a real location to develop a practically feasible project.  To meet the needs of those who may want to run their own business in tourism consulting, event catering, food service and travel operations entrepreneurial dimension is emphasised.  

There is also the pathway of higher and further education teaching in terms of career path and development. Some of our master’s students are in lecturing jobs in HEIs and FEIs in the UK and overseas. Students also have the option to progress to higher degree. A master’s qualification prepares you for PhD study. Increasingly the department is attracting PhD students in the subject area.

As DMUIC is situated in England’s most vibrant and multicultural city, I had the opportunity to make friends from different countries. The most amazing thing was that the DMUIC staff including all teachers and the office persons were very motivational and welcoming. They provide the best routes for study to every individual.”

I’ve enjoyed studying at DMUIC, the tutors are excellent and have helped me settle into life as a university student. They are also really supportive and have helped myself and other students with other issues outside of the classroom such as accommodation.

I have successfully progressed onto my degree course at the University of Bradford because of UBIC's reliable policies and teaching programme. To the new students, those who just started their foundation at Bradford International College, I must say you are going to pass the class, the only thing required is your attention and leave the rest on UBIC's staff because they are the one that are going to lead you to a brilliant future as it is a pathway to success.

I have a lot of international friends here at BUIC, and I’ve learnt so much from them. There is always a lot to do together both on and off-campus.

I would recommend UGIC because it is based on the main University of Greenwich campus, a cosmopolitan university. At UGIC, there are students from all around the world, and I've made a lot of friends from exciting places."

I think one of the main reasons the IIM (pre-masters) has been so helpful is because the staff are so supportive and are always able to help me. Whether it is understanding a module or finding out how to sort accommodation, they will help you with everything. I’ve enjoyed studying at Bangor, the people are friendly, and the environment is also really peaceful and safe. It’s given me the best opportunity to succeed in my studies here in the UK.
