Why study a postgraduate course in Tourism at the University of Brighton?
Informed by research
Research firmly underpins all of our tourism courses, contributing towards a challenging and stimulating environment in which to study.
The Centre for Tourism Policy Studies (CENTOPS) research group conducts empirical, reflective and applied research into the links between tourism, society and culture.
Professional insight
Our staff are leaders in their fields, delivering teaching and undertaking research that is informed by their professional experience and by knowledge which is kept up to date through ongoing consultancy relationships.
Linking academic study and professional practice is at the heart of our students’ experience.
Excellence in teaching and support
We welcome students from all countries and cultures and are committed to doing everything we can to help you enjoy your time at university and to succeed in your studies.
To help you balance work and life commitments we offer flexible study options as well as opportunities to study individual masters-level modules for continuing professional development purposes. This allows you to study a postgraduate course around your job or other commitments.
Outstanding location
The course is taught at the Eastbourne campus, which is home to 3,000 students and located less than 10 minutes from the beach at the foot of the South Downs National Park.
Considered the warmest and sunniest place in the UK, Eastbourne is a great place to study.
Global outlook
We are proud of our international partnerships and outlook, the opportunities we offer to study outside the UK and the insights and contribution made by our community of staff and students drawn from over 60 countries.
This course is available through the extended masters route which allows you to combine your degree with an English language course if English is not your first language.
You can typically obtain a single UK visa to cover both parts of your study. Depending on your current language level you will study English for between two and six months before starting your masters course.
