MA in International Tourism and Aviation Management

at University of West London

This aviation and tourism management course aims to equip you with the academic and industry-specific skills that will help you find suitable employment within a service-based industry.
 

You will be taught by an experienced team with backgrounds in tourism and/or aviation management. Many of our team members are extensively published and are asked to share their expertise at events and conferences throughout the world.
 

You will adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the study of tourism and aviation management. By drawing upon international case study material you will improve your understanding of the global operations of both the tourism and aviation sectors.
 

Our blended teaching and learning strategy makes use of lectures, tutorials, seminars, industry-based briefs, and self-managed personal research. Online learning support materials will be central to your studies. On this course you will be assessed through essays, reports, presentations, case studies, portfolios, audits, in-class tests, project plans, industry-based briefs, business games and work-place simulation, to name but a few.
 

Extended Masters option

If you have an undergraduate degree, but do not quite meet the entry criteria for this course, you may qualify for our Extended Masters. You will take two extra modules to prepare you for the course and you must study full time. We also provide English-language support if you need it. Once you complete these two modules, you can progress directly onto the regular Masters course.
 

Internship

If you are taking the internship option, you will undertake a 30-week (min. 1000-hour) internship. This will allow you to put theory into practice in the real world, acquire new skills and explore career opportunities. You will need to secure your own internship, and you will be able to consult the Careers Team for relevant information.

You need to meet our English language requirement - a minimum of IELTS 6.0, with at least 5.5 for each of the 4 individual components (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening).
 

You also need Level 6 qualifications at the same level as UK applicants. In some countries where teaching is in English, we may accept local qualifications. 
 

We offer pre-sessional English language courses if you do not meet these requirements.
 

Extended Masters Degree

To study the Extended Masters programme you will need:

• a Bachelor's degree
• international students need to meet our English language requirements of IELTS 6.5 or above and a minimum of 5.5 for each of the individual components (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening). We will also consider you for this course with IELTS between 6.0 and 6.5 - in this case you would need to complete an English language course during your first semester, which we provide at no additional cost.

The fee above is the cost per year of your course.
 

If your course runs for two years or more, you will need to pay the fee for each academic year at the start of that year. If your course runs for less than two years, the cost above is for your full course and you will need to pay the full fee upfront.
 

Government regulation does affect tuition fees and the fees listed for courses starting in the 2023/24 academic year are subject to change.
