BA (Hons) International Tourism and Airline Management

Degree Overview

The programme combines theory and practice, and includes specialist studies in tourism, transport, airport management, and the global aviation industry. Designed to equip you with the essential skills you’ll need for a career in tourism or a related industry, the course options allow you to focus on the areas that interest you the most. Our strong industry links with the local airports – such as Edinburgh Airport, the busiest of its kind in Scotland – provide guest lecturers and open work-related opportunities. You’ll learn about practically every aspect of international tourism and airline management; from policy and planning to international tourism and visitor attraction management. A feature of this course is the Airline Management online simulation, which enables you to run a virtual airline, pulling together your learning from the whole course. International tourism and airline management requires the ability to look outwards, understand the situation and capitalise on opportunities. Your studies will focus on this, developing a management perspective that is relevant in today’s global business environment. A wealth of experience gained from involvement in a thriving local tourism scene, and an international presence on campus, mean that you’ll graduate with a realistic understanding of tourism and airline management locally and internationally.
