Postgraduate Leisure and Tourism Courses

Leisure and tourism are great industries to enter right now. Hotels, restaurants and business tourism account for 50 billion pounds of annual turnover in the UK. There are lots of ways into hospitality, but qualifications can help you go further.

Most jobs in hospitality require quite a lot of on-the-job training, but graduate and post graduate qualifications are available to boost your career opportunities. Each organisation will have its own recruitment process, from a telephone interview, to proper interview, to assessments if you're applying for a graduate training scheme.

Gaining a relevant qualification in hospitality, leisure and tourism will prove your genuine interest in the industry to recruiters.

Hospitality is a global industry, with many different working environments. There's enormous scope for travel, from working at a ski resort in the Alps to cruising on the Caribbean. Pay can be good although often hospitality and tourism staff are forced to work long hours during the busy months.
