Online only
Destination management, conservation-linked tourism, hospitality operations and the visitor economy — for the tourism sector across the continent. African Future University delivers this award fully online across African time zones. There is no campus. Assessment is identity-checked and the academic standard is the same for every student. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MSc Tourism & Hospitality Management is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Tourism Systems & Destination Economics through Tourism Systems & Destination Economics; Heritage, Ethics & Community; Data & Insight for Visitor Management; Destination Management & Governance; Hospitality & Attraction Operations; Major Events, Crowds & Safety, and finish on Tourism & Heritage Capstone. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students describe how people, records, and decisions move through one service, and separate cause from harm. Reading is a pathway description, an incident summary, and an information standard. The artefact a marker expects is a brief a service manager could use, with the evidence attached. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Manage a destination, attraction or event through its operational realities Balance the visitor economy against heritage, community and conservation Run revenue, marketing and digital distribution for the sector Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a licence to practise nursing, medicine, or any other clinical profession. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The programme carries 36 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with African Future University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
