Comments about BSc Tourism & Environment - At the institution - London - Greater London

• Objectives
  Few other courses nationally enable you to study tourism development and environmental issues in a truly integrated way. The scale and diversity of the tourism industry has made the relationship between it and the environment complex only understood through addressing socio-cultural, economic and environmental issues. You gain practical experience of applying these issues, and we encourage you to take a work placement, and participate in national and international field courses. There are international links with Oulu Polytechnic (Finland), Fachhochschule Eberswalde (Germany), Akademia Rolnicza, Szczecin (Poland), and Universitat de Lleida (Spain).
• Entry requirements
  You should have 160-200 points, including at least 140 from two or more A-levels. English Language and Mathematics GCSE at grade C or above (or equivalent) are also required. These requirements may be varied in individual cases. Those without the formal entry qualifications but with relevant experience are encouraged to apply, or may be eligible for entry onto access and preparatory courses.
