1 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
Middlesex University LondonIf you already have a foundation degree or HND and want to step up to a full bachelor’s, this one-year top-up BSc at Middlesex is a brilliant option. It’s designed for students who are ambitious, globally minded, and eager to build careers in hospitality, tourism, airlines, hotels, events, or even cruise management.
Curriculum Structure
Final Year (Level 6 Top-Up)
In this year you’ll really hone your strategic and professional skills. Core modules like Creative Marketing in Tourism will show you how branding, social media and digital engagement drive the industry forward, while Hospitality Business Management gives you the bigger picture on how international hotels and food & beverage businesses are run. You’ll also take Customer Service Management in Tourism and Hospitality, where you’ll explore how organisations build cultures of service excellence and long-lasting customer loyalty.
On top of that, you’ll choose from optional modules so you can tailor the degree to your interests — whether that’s Heritage Tourism, Digital Campaign Planning and Analytics, Event Planning and Management, or even a Dissertation/Final Year Project if you want to go deeper into research. This flexibility means you graduate with a degree that not only carries weight, but also reflects your own career goals.
