MBA Tourism
The University of Surrey is launching a new MBA with a focus on tourism. This exciting new degree is designed for those aiming for senior management in the tourism industry, but who have not necessarily experience of studying tourism. The MBA (T) covers the traditional MBA disciplines of finance, strategy, business research, human resource and operations management – but also includes detailed study of how these disciplines relate to the tourism industry, as well as study of the importance challenge sustainability produces for the tourism industry in the future. The MBA at Surrey is accredited by both the AACSB and AMBA, while tourism programmes at Surrey are accredited by the UNWTO, making the School of Management the only place in the world to hold these three accreditations, and so ideally qualified to deliver a high value MBA concentrating on tourism.
