The programme combines study through U21Global and The University of Nottingham, leading to the award of two qualifications - U21Global's Postgraduate Diploma of Business Administration and a Master of Science (MSc) in Tourism and Travel Management from The University of Nottingham.

The combined programme aims to develop a broad understanding of management principles and practices applicable to the tourism and travel industries. The course focuses on all aspects of tourism management, including managing people, managing financial resources, market research, marketing and strategy, eBusiness, tourism policy and planning, cultural and heritage tourism, consumer behaviour, sustainability and service delivery.
