The dissertation of 12,000 words should be completed within 6 months of the completion of the taught course, and students will be given online support following the semester to assist them in doing this, as well as direct contact to a Supervisor who will provide advice and guidance. The topic should be based on the hospitality and tourism industry. This research is expected to be largely desk based, making use of academic resources.
