You will be taught in a small, friendly and supportive environment. Our approach is distinctive to that adopted by many universities. To us students are not just a ‘face in the crowd’, and we take pride in the supportive learning environment that we provide. We avoid mass lectures and instead our approach focuses on relatively small group learning that we believe is better suited to supporting your learning. The programme builds upon the strong reputation that Chichester has earned for delivering high quality courses of study in a supportive and friendly environment.

It is unusual within the university sector to have an emphasis on providing a learning environment based almost entirely around small, workshop-based group sessions.  Typically, these last two to three hours in length and allow students and tutors to explore areas in more depth than would be possible in the ‘traditional’ lecture room environment.  We proud of our ability to be able to develop your learning in such a way, and believe it is one of the key areas that differentiates us from most higher education universities and colleges.

Developing the relevant subject area knowledge, combined with the skills and experience that employers are looking for, is key to enhancing your employability. We believe that vital to this process is the need for you to reflect upon your own learning as it takes place, and through this develop the ability to apply your skills and understanding with confidence.  The programme produces an extensive range of support materials, and resources for each module are available online via our Tourism Management portal.

Careers support is an inherent feature of the programme as we seek to equip you for the world of work. Possible career destinations include local authorities, the private sector, tourism marketing, countryside management or tourism training. You may even wish to go further and consider postgraduate study. Whatever your long-term goal may be, we will endeavour to make sure you realise your own personal potential.

Student support and guidance is an integral feature of the programme at Chichester, and is centered upon the Academic Advisor system. You will be assigned an Advisor at the start of Year 1 and it is intended that you will meet formally at least once a semester throughout the programme, principally to review academic progress. There is also the opportunity to discuss relevant personal matters and where necessary the Academic Advisor will refer you on to the appropriate central services. Further, the Academic Advisor is generally the individual who is best placed to write student references.
