Overview
You’ll explore the processes happening behind the scenes of international hospitality and hotel management and learn what it means to become a responsible manager.
Working in hospitality is hands-on. You’ll be given real briefs to work on which will give you an insight into what it’s really like to take the lead and make sure everything runs smoothly.
You’ll be learning from a teaching team that knows the sector inside out, whether that’s from their professional experience or years of research. They’re leaders in the field and use their extensive network to help you make new connections.
But why study in Oxford? From sporting events to literary festivals, there is always something going on, as well as people visiting the city from around the world. It’s also easy to hop on the train to London too. You’ll meet professionals, often our alumni, who run hotels and restaurants here in Oxford and around the world.
If you want to focus on curating experiences and developing destinations, our BSc (Hons) International Tourism and Hospitality Management will be the right choice for you.

The following factors will be taken into account by the University when it is setting the annual fees: inflationary measures such as the retail price indices, projected increases in University costs, changes in the level of funding received from Government sources, admissions statistics and access considerations including the availability of student support.
