MASTER OF ARTS INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALITY & TOURISM LEADERSHIP

Components of the Masters Degree
The multidisciplinary nature of this widely recognised business leadership degree, with its emphasis on the international hospitality and tourism industry, allows students to develop transferable leadership skills and apply them across any industry. 

The MA programme (Parts 1 and 2) will provide graduates with the knowledge base and competencies to critically analyse and research a range of sectors within the international hospitality and tourism industry from different leadership and functional perspectives.

Most importantly, it will encourage graduates to develop appropriate and effective leadership responses to strategic opportunities and challenges which, in turn, will give them a competitive edge in a rapidly expanding and changing marketplace.  Part 1 leads to the award of the Postgraduate Diploma, while Part 2 which includes the writing of a Dissertation leads to the award of the Master of Arts degree in International Hospitality & Tourism Leadership.

This exciting and unique programme, which is awarded by the Federal University of Wales, UK, can be completed in one academic year (by full-time students) or two academic years (by part-time students) and is primarily aimed at those managers and aspiring managers who are now ready to move beyond management to leadership positions in their industry or organisation.
