Industry Involvement
One of the distinctive features about this programme is the
amount of industry involvement that there has been in its
development and will be in its delivery.
The majority of academics in the programme development team
originally worked in the industry as practitioners and so bring
with them their own industry experience and network of
contacts.
Modules have been developed in partnership between academics and
practitioners to ensure that they are relevant to the needs of
industry.
Assessments have been designed to enable you to use your own
company as a case study wherever possible or to work on live briefs
provided by industry practitioners.
As a participant on this programme you will be able to
build up an extensive network of contacts within many different
industry sectors, providing you with support throughout your
career.

experience working for many leading organisations including:
- Institute of Travel and Tourism
