Introduction
What is special about this course?
Recent worldwide developments have impacted our lives in every way. The tourism industry has never faced a greater global challenge or been in more need of skilled, focused expertise to guide it through these unprecedented times.
Developing the skills and resilience needed in such an environment as we find ourselves today is central to the MSc Tourism programme. You will concentrate on adapting to changing contexts, as framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are being mainstreamed and adopted as an ‘international currency’ by different countries and nations, including Scotland.
Special features
- The programme offers two pathways:
- MSc Tourism
- MSc Tourism (Enterprise)
- You can study online from anywhere in the UK or the world, giving you the flexibility to work around your schedule and lifestyle
- You will develop a strong portfolio of ideas, techniques, skills and templates to use as launch pads for yourself and others, in your current and future workplace: get things done and make a difference
- You can choose to study towards the career-enhancing qualifications of PgCert, PgDip or the full MSc degree, or take individual modules for personal or professional development
- You will be encouraged to select assessments, topics and project work linked to your employment or career choices. In the full Masters, you can also undertake project work at an advanced level

Eligible Scotland-domiciled students studying part-time can apply for a tuition fee loan from SAAS.

If your course does not have a full-time option, you must complete it within three years. You can apply for a tuition fee loan up to £7,000, which will be paid pro-rata for each academic year of study.
