The hospitality & tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors of the Scottish economy and throughout the world.
Have you ever wondered how major international companies such as British Airways, Thomas Cook, Sheraton or Marriott manage their businesses, with buildings, equipment and employees spread over all corners of the world?
Studying Hospitality & Tourism at Strathclyde, will ensure that you have the necessary management skills to manage operations as diverse as hotels, restaurants, exhibition centres, cruise ships, outdoor centres, schools and hospitals, or the military.

Provided with the theoretical background and a wealth of opportunities to investigate the reality of the sector, we firmly believe in Strathclyde's stated aim to be 'the place of useful learning' - 8,500 graduates can't be wrong!
