This is a four year honours degree in International Tourism Management, with two accredited work placements.
This degree prepares graduates for many of the business roles available in the tourism industry in Ireland and internationally today. Students develop skills at both operational and supervisory management levels.
This course also develops students’ entrepreneurial skills to facilitate new business start-ups. In today’s economic climate, these skills will prove invaluable upon graduation.
The integrated work placements in Year One and Year Two allow students to experience first hand the challenges, demands and rewards of working in this exciting and ever-changing industry.
At the end of year one, there is a ten-week mandatory work placement in an approved Irish tourism business, organised by the ATU Links office in conjunction with the student. If students are considering an international career, the College would encourage students to study an international language during their two years of study and to complete their international placement in a location that supports the development of the language.
