POSTGRADUATE STUDIES
The CTCC offers several opportunities for postgraduate study:
We offer a specially designed MA Cultural Tourism. This MA programme focuses on tourism and its relationships with different concepts and expressions of culture. The course will prepare you for leadership roles in the diverse sectors which constitute international cultural tourism. It is designed to meet the sector’s needs for critical and reflective practitioners who possess an understanding of how theoretical ideas may be applied to professional contexts. MA Cultural Tourism will be available in Distance Learning mode from September 2009. For policy makers and practitioners engaged with the management and marketing of destinations we offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Destination Management via distance learning.
For further details of these programmes and to discuss how you can join them please contact Course Leader, Dr Philip Long (p.e.long@leedsmet.ac.uk).
We offer a PhD programme in the broad field of tourism. With more than twenty doctoral students, visiting scholars and postdoctoral researchers from thirteen different countries, the CTCC is one of the world’s leading institutions for graduate level tourism studies. Supervised by an interdisciplinary team of experienced and internationally recognised academics, our doctoral students work on theoretical and applied issues related to tourism, development, contemporary forms of mobility, cultures of modernity, festivity and identity construction, informal economies, image and representations, and the politics of everyday life.
We welcome applications from suitably qualified people to undertake doctoral work in the area of tourism and cultural change. If you have a doctoral project in mind and wish to be part of our stimulating research environment, please contact Dr Simone Abram (s.abram@leedsmet.ac.uk) for an informal discussion.
The CTCC is always interested in hosting visiting doctoral and postdoctoral researchers who can work with us and collaborate in our projects. The postgraduate teaching and doctoral supervision that we offer is informed by active research agendas by our staff and commissioned work for governments and international organisations.
