The Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change/ Leeds Metropolitan
University is pleased to announce and to invite applicants for the newly
designed:

 

 

 MA Cultural Tourism

 

 

 

Cultural Tourism is one of the most important and rapidly expanding
economic and social phenomena of the contemporary world. The Centre for
Tourism and Cultural Change (CTCC) at Leeds Metropolitan University is a
global leader in research and education regarding tourism and its
relationships to culture(s).

 

The Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change has developed an important
and innovative Master's qualification in Cultural Tourism which will
allow you to take an informed position in contemporary theoretical
debates and applied policy programmes focusing on tourism and its
relationships with culture in its many forms and expressions. The course
is designed to equip you with the knowledge, ideas, and awareness of
contemporary policy contexts, together with the research skills and
relevant practical applications relating to cultural tourism.

 

Through course modules you will be able to study: The structures and
dynamics of international tourism; the social practices and performances
of tourists; international tourism policy; the relationships between
tourism and concepts of modernity, globalisation and colonialism;
tangible and intangible heritage and their management; the role of
museums and the ways by which cultures are represented; festivals and
cultural events; culture and regeneration; tourism as a means of
intercultural dialogue. 

 

Through the Researching Cultural Tourism module, a choice of second
semester options and, the opportunity to work on a 'live' case study
relating to the cultural sector, you will be able to develop your own
interests and skills. By undertaking your dissertation you will be
equipped for future leadership roles in the diverse and dynamic field of
cultural tourism and/or develop an opportunity to undertake a PhD at the
prestigious Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change.
