What our
Students say

Adventure Tourism Management is broad in what it covers and I knew I would
benefit from the choices offered and discover my niche as I went along. I have
appreciated the different directions you can follow, especially in 2nd and 3rd year
when you can choose modules that suit your interests.
The academic modules are challenging and interesting, combining social sciences,
coaching therapy and skill acquisition as well as critical perspectives on tourism,
marketing, management and adventure markets.
There are also fantastic opportunities to develop your practical skills with access to
NGB awards and by working with core external instructors who are all in the business
of adventure tourism, you have the chance to build links with local businesses.

Jenny Taylor. BA(Hons) Adventure Tourism Management

After school I was lucky enough to
successfully complete some NGB awards
in climbing, kayaking and biking and
quickly got the opportunity to work as
an outdoor instructor for a summer and
many summer outdoor seasons around
Scotland since.
I chose BA (Hons) Marine and Coastal
Tourism because there is nothing that makes
me happier than living and working by the
sea. Studying has developed my knowledge,
passion and appreciation for our marine
environment, and I would absolutely
recommend this degree to anyone who has a
passion for our oceans and the opportunities
this speciality brings to adventure tourism.
