Foundation Degree in Tourism and Events Management

This is a two-year university level programme awarded by De Montfort University (DMU) that provides you with the skills and knowledge needed to secure a career in the broad tourism and events industries. Designed to develop your knowledge of the travel and events industries from a management perspective, this degree course aims to enhance your skills to progress into employment within these industries. Our course aims to give students a wide range of industry experience through guest speakers, trips and live projects with tourism and events providers. As a student on a DMU awarded programme you can access many of the resources available on DMU City Campus including the excellent Kimberlin Library. You also have the opportunity to top-up to a BA (Hons) Degree in Tourism and Events Mangement with one further year of study at the College. A two-week work placement is scheduled in the second year of the course to complement your employability skills and knowledge delivered on the course. In previous years an arrangement through Erasmus+ has been in place and students carried out their placement in Seville, Spain.
