Course details

Summary

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded by the University for research carried out under the supervision of at least two staff members. A PhD can also be presented as a PhD with Publication or a PhD with a Creative Practice Component. The research, which must be the candidate's own work, is written up as a thesis, and may include papers published or intended to be published. The thesis is required to present the case for the research, outline the research undertaken and the findings and conclusions of that research. There is no course work for this degree.

Tourism Management involves predicting the future - working out what people will want from their leisure and travel pursuits and how those wants are implemented and managed. You will also study the structure of different tourism organisations, aspects of hospitality and leisure, and the environmental and economic impacts of tourism operations.
