    Course/Program description



    All programmes are modular and are industry relevant building on management knowledge and transferable skills leading to employability.

    Undergraduate
    All programmes have a 24 week industrial placement in the UK or overseas with a range of options or electives after the first year. Throughout the first three semesters principles of management as applied to the Hospitality Industry are studied followed by industrial placement. In the 3rd and final years a strategic approach is adopted addressing management specialisms, industry sectors, internationalisation and current issues in both tourism and hospitality. All students studies include technology, marketing, human resources, finance, corporate strategy, service and the customer and service management.

    Hospitality - accommodation, food services practice and management, and gastronomy.

    Tourism - facilities planning management, heritage tourism, conference & exhibition management, tourism industry operations.

    The range of options/electives include: language, destination management, international hospitality management, international tourism management, tourism & hospitality trends, tourism and the EU, plus a range of university modules.

    Postgraduate
    The programme is designed as a conversion course for graduates from non tourism backgrounds or those with relevant experience of the industry wishing to update their qualifications and address the challenging issues relating to tourism operations and developments. Students study the functions of management as they relate to the tourism industry, with specialist modules in tourism information management, yield management, service management as well as tourism operations and development. Among the options students may specialise in international hospitality. A feature of the programme is an industry based project as well as the individual dissertation both of which complement students' transferable skills.

    Hospitality & Tourism Management
    Hotel Management has been a discipline of Napier since it opened as an academic institution. It provided the first degree programme in the sector in Scotland in 1978 and the first undergraduate degree in Tourism in Scotland. As befitting a capital city we have therefore been able to build on a long established tradition of high quality management education by extending commercial and public sector links in Edinburgh to similar capital cities and commercial companies, and academic contacts internationally enhance both student and academic exchanges and collaboration. Teaching and research are the means by which we express our aims but these are measured by a history of satisfied, employable students who are up to date with industry challenges and lifelong career opportunity
