MSc International Hospitality and Tourism Management
Oxford Brookes University
Course Overview
Oxford Brookes University's Business School runs one of the UK's most established hospitality and tourism teaching environments, and its MSc International Hospitality and Tourism Management is a one-year master's that deliberately bridges both sectors — equipping graduates to lead across hotels, resorts, events, and destination businesses. The programme covers strategic management, revenue and digital distribution, service operations, sustainable tourism, and consumer behaviour, with applied consultancy projects and strong links to the hospitality industry. Oxford itself — a world-famous tourism destination an hour from London — is an apt living classroom for the subject.
Sri Lankan applicants with a Bachelor's in Hospitality, Tourism, Business, Management, or a related field fit the cohort well, and those with industry experience are particularly welcomed; English-medium Sri Lankan degrees can satisfy the language requirement. With tourism central to Sri Lanka's economy, a combined hospitality-and-tourism master's is unusually relevant for returnees aiming at senior leadership. The UK Graduate Route gives international graduates a two-year post-study work visa, and Oxford Brookes' reputation and industry connections support placement at major global hospitality groups and DMCs.
