Destination, hospitality and service management, built around one of Thailand's largest employers.

BA (Hons) Business Management (Tourism)
Overview

Why this programme

Tourism is one of the largest employers in the country, and the people running it learned on the floor. This final year gives that experience an internationally recognised name, without asking you to leave the job that taught you.

Two specialist modules — Tourism Crisis Management and Tourism Trends and Futures — deal with what the sector has actually lived through: closures, recovery, changing travellers and the pressure to operate sustainably.

Delivered in Bangkok and online by ADVEX Management School under a transnational education partnership with Arden University, United Kingdom.

Already hold a degree? This can be your second one.
The final year is not only for diploma holders. Applicants who already hold a bachelor's degree in another field are regularly admitted and use this year to add a second bachelor's degree — a recognised way to move into a new field, or to certificate work you are already doing. Entry is assessed individually; speak to admissions before you apply.
