Course Description:

'' They are demanding, with lots of hard work. They are exciting, occasionally frustrating, certainly interesting. You learn more about the hotel, restaurant, travel and tourism industry and you learn more about yourself - as you rise to the challenge of studying on our innovative programmes.

Students say that our master’s programmes are tough, but they are ultimately a rewarding experience, which is why our courses have a great global reputation.

We always have a great mix of international students studying with us. This year there are students from over 25 different countries on our hospitality and tourism MSc programmes. This provides excellent networking opportunities and a rich cultural mix, which is essential for understanding customers, staff and management in today’s global businesses environment.

Preparation for an international career.
It is possible for students wishing to specialise in a functional discipline to study for a named award in Finance, Human Resource Management or Marketing.

On completion of the programme students will have the ability to:

propose, justify and recommend international financial, human resource and marketing managerial strategies;
plan strategies and tactics and adapt effectively to unusual and unexpected situations in an international environment;
evaluate critically selected generic management theory within a chosen specialist area, and apply this to the context of the international tourism industry;
recommend a market entry and human resource strategy for a specific country;
evaluate the current strategic position of international tourism firms and recommend future strategic directions;
devise methodologically appropriate research instruments for data collection, interpretation;
analysis, and undertake the presentation of information in hotel and tourism management;
conduct an original research project in hotel and tourism management;
participate and work effectively in multi-cultural groups towards defined outcomes;
use and reflect upon interactive skills in a multi-cultural context;
reflect habitually upon own and others’ practice to improve your own and others’ actions;
learn and research actively, independently and reflectively.

Sandwich mode
The sandwich mode comprises one year of full-time MSc taught study and one year of full-time, supervised work experience. You have two options:

You can join the programme in April, before the MSc taught element starts, and take the Introduction to Work module. This provides 16-weeks of supervised work experience at an operative level in Oxford before starting the MSc taught component in September. You would then complete your year’s work experience by taking the Manager in Development module after finishing the taught part of the Programme.
You can take all of your work experience after studying on the MSc taught component. The sandwich mode of study provides paid, supervised work experience to support your academic studies with a suitable international hospitality and tourism employer, and you carry out an assessed project for the company.

Two year, part-time programme
A two-year, part-time programme is also available. Please note it is not legally possible for an international (non EU) student, requiring a visa to study in the UK, to register for a degree on a part-time basis.

Entry Requirements
A good second class UK honours degree or equivalent overseas degree in business, hotel or tourism management.
Suitable work experience in the hotel and tourism industry.
(Normally a minimum of one year’s experience is required. An 18-week paid work experience programme (Introduction to Work) is available for successful applicants who are interested in obtaining more hospitality work experience in Oxford prior to starting the MSc in September.)
Proof of English language competence is also required. If English is not your fist language, then applicants must have British Council IELTS 6.5 with a minimum level 6 in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding or above, or an equivalent English language qualification.
