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.

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.
