As a Masters student you’ll develop your research skills to a new and higher level. Your research supervisor will help you submit a proposal for your Masters dissertation, Master’s Management Enquiry project or Enterprise project and then discuss its development through to completion in the final semester. 

If you decide on a Masters Management Enquiry project or an Enterprise project rather than a Dissertation, you’ll still undertake primary and desk-based research. Through this you’ll gain, and be expected to demonstrate, a deep understanding of the issues that are involved in a topic of your choosing. 

Throughout your course you’ll be an active participant in the on-going research agenda that’s at the heart of Newcastle Business School. With conferences and research events regularly taking place, and with staff discussing their own research as it relates to the topics you’ll study, there’s a strong emphasis on you engaging in up-to-date enquiry-based learning. 

Our graduates typically go into professional and graduate management positions, and by the end of the course you’ll be well-equipped to pursue a professional management career. Thanks to the specialist modules available on the course, you’ll have a particular edge in roles related to hospitality and tourism management and business development. 

If you decide to start up your own business, it’s good to know that the combined turnover of our graduates’ start-up companies is higher than that of any other UK university.  

The course could also lead you to a postgraduate research degree such as an MPhil, PhD or Professional Doctorate. 

Whatever you decide to do, you will have the transferable skills that employers expect from a master’s graduate from Northumbria University. These include the ability to tackle complex issues through conceptualisation and primary research, the ability to contribute to new processes and knowledge, and the ability to formulate balanced judgements when considering incomplete or ambiguous data.

Masters' Management Enquiry (Optional,60 Credits)

The Masters’ Management Enquiry module is a student-led individual project that enables you to undertake a significant piece of assessed work commensurate with a capstone module and is offered as an alternative to the Masters’ Dissertation and Masters’ Consultancy Project. The module aims to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate an authentic engagement with managers and/or professionals in your discipline (this enquiry has to be discipline specific), and to integrate the knowledge you have developed during your programme to explore the theory in practice. The learning on this module is experiential and problem based, where the focus is upon you discovering, probing and questioning key practice-based issues. Through the module you will be offered the opportunity to develop and enhance key transferable employability skills including; time management, project management, communication (written, aural and verbal), negotiation, persuasion and influence, discovery, initiative, problem-solving and analysis. The module has five thematic areas; explore, review, engage, reflect and connect. These form the key elements of the assessed submission which is a single 15,000 word report. Part A (35%, 5,000-5,500 words) Explore: Interviewing a manager and/or professional in your discipline. In this interview you will either explore a key issue which you feel the discipline is facing or, alternatively, explore with the manager or professional the key issues that they feel they are facing in practice. It is expected that you will apply non-verbatim documented conversation and provide evidence of the key ideas emerging within the submitted enquiry report (e.g. within the appendices). Review: Critically examining the academic and practitioner literature to support the exploration, displaying an ability to critically assess and appraise the knowledge of your discipline related to a specific key issue arising from your exploration. Part B (65%, 9,500-10,000 words) Engage: Displaying an authentic engagement with the discipline problem/issue identified in Part A, by collecting/generating and analysing further live data (beyond the initial interview) regarding the discipline problem/issue. This live data may be primary data (e.g. further interviews with, or questionnaire to, managers and/or professionals in practice) or secondary data (e.g. industry data). Application of appropriate, ethically-considered, research methods and appropriate qualitative or quantitative data analysis. Reflect and Connect: Demonstrating an ability to critically evaluate and reflect on the issues arising from the Management Enquiry. Demonstrating how you have connected and fed-back to the participants of the Enquiry (usually the manager and/or participants) your key findings to provide clear prioritised, well-justified, practical and actionable recommendations for change/enhancement/improvement to existing practice to show how the recommendations would potentially affect workplace professional decision making.

Entrepreneurship - Context, Process and Practice (Optional,20 Credits)

This module aims to increase your awareness and understanding of the issues and challenges of starting up and operating a small business and being entrepreneurial. As entrepreneurship requires a strong focus on practice, this will be achieved by providing you with a practical insight into setting up and trading as a small business, raising awareness of self-employment as a viable career option. You will learn about entrepreneurship as a process, the entrepreneurial person, ideation, and opportunity recognition, pitching and presenting, business planning, idea validation, resource acquisition, market analysis, customers and selling, entrepreneurial marketing, networking, and accelerators, incubation, and support. You will learn how to identify, explore, and progress your own business idea and be supported in your experience of planning this idea over the course of the module, recognising patterns and opportunities in complex situations and environments. At the end of this module, you will have a deeper understanding of real-life entrepreneurial issues and how they can be addressed. The development of entrepreneurial awareness, capability and mind-set which the module seeks to promote lends itself to application not only in new venture creation or development but also within traditional employment contexts.

Placemaking and Cultural Consumption (Optional,20 Credits)

In this module, you will study the concept of place, culture and creativity in cities worldwide. Our contention is that people make places, and to an extent, places make people. In the module, students explore how spaces become meaningful places for leisure and consumption around the world as a result of what people (tourists, entrepreneurs, residents, policymakers, captains of industry) do. Students will be introduced to concepts on place-making, including the creation of contemporary bohemia / neo-bohemian cultural quarters aimed at the and day to night-time economy alongside creative and heritage industries, and cultural performances. Some of the themes to be studied include the significance of placemaking as cultural production and consumption, from the glossy, large-scale mega-development of event spaces, concert halls and sports grounds to more grass-roots community engaged bohemian entrepreneurs and sole operators.

Hospitality, Tourism and Globalisation (Core,20 Credits)

This module aims to increase your awareness and understanding of the issues and challenges of hospitality and tourism in a global context – that is in relation to flows of capital and people around the world. You will learn about globalisation as an economic, social and cultural process and how hospitality and tourism, in all their different elements and incarnations, are part of that process. Through this you will be able to explore these industries thoroughly with a view of beginning to think how you may want to develop a career within them, and where. At the end of this module, you will have a deeper understanding of real-life issues around globalisation – from economic, social and cultural, and to an extent environmental - and how the tourism and hospitality industries are both shaped and shape them. The development of this awareness can not only encourage you to think about future careers in these exciting industries but potential business opportunities too.

International Hospitality Management (Core,20 Credits)

Hospitality is the management, sale and consumption of services including food, accommodation, experiences. It is arguably the oldest industry in the world and continues to be one of the fastest growing. This module is designed to enable students to learn about a range of theoretical and practical approaches applied in the study of the origins, scope and management of hospitality in tourism around the world. The course examines the wide range of hospitality types in the tourism industry, from homes shared via digital platforms such as AirBnB, to traditional resort hotels, packaged tours, adventurous expeditions, temporary hospitality at festivals and in restaurants. We will consider the phenomenon from a mixed, multi-disciplinary perspective. From the earliest host-guest relationships to the multi-billion-dollar global industry it is today, we will consider the glittering towers of Las Vegas and Dubai as well as the street food sellers of any city around the world, and the mountain peoples who offer simple hospitality from meagre resources. Throughout we will explore the growing significance of digital interfaces in the mega-processes and changes at work in some parts of this vibrant, ever-changing industry. Crucially, the core of the programme will provide a framework for analysis, marketing and management of this diverse industry – for both the sole trader, micro-business or SME to those with roles in large national and multinational hospitality-driven businesses. Based as it is on the endless possibilities of human communication, service and co-creation, we will demonstrate that this is at once one of the most challenging and also potentially the most vibrant and rewarding of industries. Key themes: Traditional hospitality, talent management and employability experience economy, co-creation, , services and experiential marketing, gastronomy, digital data and interfaces, the sharing economy, social media, sustainability and new product development

Responsible Marketing Strategies in Tourism, Hospitality and Events (Optional,20 Credits)

Sustainable tourism and hospitality (Core,20 Credits)

This is a 20-credit module running in the second semester of the programme. The module will cover three main areas of learning: Environmental impacts of tourism and climate change, Sustainable principles and practice and green forms of consumerism in tourism and hospitality. The first part will review the range of social and environmental impacts in tourism and hospitality sector both at a local and a global level. This first part will extensively cover debates surrounding climate change. You will learn how tourism contributes and is affected by climate change as well as the implications for the future of the sector. The second part will start with a more theoretical discussion on sustainable tourism development as a contested concept and the various principles underpinning the debate.. It will consider the notion of sustainability in both local and global contexts as well as its application to the hospitality industry. You will learn about Environmental Management Systems in tourism and hospitality, Community involvement in the development of sustainable tourism, sustainable transport and hospitality and Food and beverage waste management systems. The third part will explore various forms of green consumerism in tourism and hospitality that respond to these environmental challenges. The discussion will range from changing lifestyles and the 'new tourist to Ecotourism, Eco-ethics and other alternative forms of tourism such as slow food movement. It will also discuss how to inflict sustainability in mainstream tourism and hospitality practices. You will also learn about the convergence of mass tourism and sustainability, the marketing for sustainability and sustainability practices within the hospitality industry.

Events and Tourism (Optional,20 Credits)

The module provides students with an understanding of concepts, theories, and frameworks that are relevant to the strategic and sustainable development of festivals and events as drivers of tourism with localities. The module combines theoretical, practical and managerial insights into the growth and development of festivals and events and their role in developing creative and cultural spaces for locals and tourists. It will draw on key case studies such as the Edinburgh Festival and Mardi Gras Venice to enable students to understand the challenges involved in creating events, their evaluation and potential for attracting and sustaining audiences and repeat visits.

Destination Management (Optional,20 Credits)

This module explores the key characteristics of destination management by drawing on areas related to governance, marketing strategies, image promotion, branding, tourism impacts, and regeneration. The focus is on integrated approach to governance, planning, development and marketing of a destination examining local, regional, national and international examples. We also critically assess issues around mobilty and citizenship in tourism destinations in relation to how locals and visitors have rights to places and how these rights can either converge or diverge. With this approach, the module fosters a critical understanding of the role of Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) and Destination Management Companies (DMCs). We will examine various tourism development strategies in different contexts – rural, urban, coastal – and assess various challenges, opportunities, and threats. The module also provides students with the opportunity to develop a critical approach to analysing tourism destinations. Via a fieldtrip to Amsterdam you will be able to study the above in a real world setting. In this you will visit Amsterdam Zuid, the cultural heart of Amsterdam, and also disvcover the growth of a financial centre is linked to Universities and an Schipol international airport, thereby demonstrating that tourism does not stand in isolation, particularly in and around cities. You will also visit Giethoorn, a small village not far from Amsterdam, to witness how international tourism can impact on such a vulnerable place that has little capacity to absorb tourism into its everyday life. You will be split into groups on the fieldtrip with each group given a research task on destination management in and around Amsterdam. Thereby developing your inter and intra personal skills, ability to engage in continuous personal development, and develop professionals capabilities vital to a future management-related career.

Enterprise Project - business start-up (Optional,60 Credits)

This module is an optional capstone module for students on the MSc International Hospitality and Tourism Management programme who are considering starting up a business in this sector after graduation The focus of this module is to support you in developing your business idea into a real-life venture.

You will then apply these topics in creating a business plan for your own venture. As well as learning how to develop your own venture you will explore what it is to become an entrepreneur. To support you in becoming an entrepreneur will also cover topics which will support the development of your entrepreneurial capabilities. Central to the module is the development of a business plan for a new enterprise in hospitality or tourism focused on the ‘Business Model Canvas’ which is template or a simple representation of the core business model including key partners, value propositions, customers, costs and revenues. The workshops will introduce the idea of the business model canvas and guide you in developing the constituent elements. For example to develop the customer elements you will be introduced to customer profiling and segmentation, customer relationship development and the use of different channels to reach customers. Revenue streams will be explored by looking at what customers are willing to pay and the sales processes needed. The analysis of costs will be supported with some basic accounting. Underpinning the business model is the value proposition and you will be challenged to identify the value you are delivering to the customer, how you propose to address their needs and the budling of products and services in the business model.

Tourism Ticker

Perspectives: What hospo needs to turn the tide on staff burnout

11th March 2024 By Contributor

While the hospitality industry struggles with a skills shortage, researchers find that chefs in New Zealand and Australia face financial hardship and mental health challenges.

northumbria university tourism and events management

Chefs are in hot demand. “Chefs, chefs, chefs! Virtually impossible to find anyone,” lamented one Auckland restaurant owner recently. Australia is seeing a similar gap, with chefs ranked the eighth most in-demand occupation. Given this culinary skills shortage, we might expect such sought-after employees to be highly valued.

Apparently not. Our new report on chef wellbeing and working conditions shows chefs in Australia and New Zealand experience significant financial hardship and mental health issues, with many wishing to leave their jobs.

This has major implications for tourism, too, as jobs such as cheffing are “ keystone occupations” in major destinations. When jobs can’t be filled, these places lose money.

Tourism revenue is booming , with visitors reportedly seeking more scenery, history and culture. The food chefs prepare in cafés and restaurants forms an integral part of the tourist experience. But despite the laws of supply and demand, the situation for chefs is unlikely to improve without radical changes to work practices.

Our study is the first quantitative survey to examine working conditions and mental health issues among chefs in both Australia and New Zealand. The survey was distributed through professional culinary associations, and final responses were captured as Australasia emerged from Covid restrictions.

The survey also followed up previous Australian studies, which indicated exploitation was an industry norm , with chefs experiencing burnout and wage theft .

‘Banter, bollockings and beatings’

The kitchen environment is well documented to be particularly harsh. As one British study titled “Banter, bollockings and beatings” made clear, an often macho culture can prevail, including bizarre induction rituals.

An Australian study published in 2022 showed chefs were significantly more likely than the general population to commit suicide. And even before the pandemic, the industry’s “toxic” workplace culture was blamed for mental health issues and high suicide rates among employees.

Most of our chef respondents were men, with an average age of 37. They had been chefs for 16 years on average. Of these, 42% originally came from outside Australia and New Zealand, underlining the profession’s high mobility.

The results reveal disturbing insights into chefs’ working conditions. It was surprising to find nearly half (44%) of our sample were in precarious employment, given the skills shortage.

Two-thirds (67%) of respondents worked more than 38 hours weekly, but a fifth of the chefs worked 52-61 hours. Of these, 6.33% worked 62 hours or more – well above New Zealand’s still commonplace 40-hour work week, and Australia’s legally prescribed 38 hours. Despite the fast-paced environment, a quarter did not get their legally entitled breaks.

Economic insecurity was very evident. Financial hardship was reported by almost one in five chefs (15-20%), and a quarter of respondents went without meals due to financial pressure. That those who feed others struggle to feed themselves seems a dark irony.

Two-thirds also reported working when sick, an average of nine days each a year. Post-Covid, this should concern health professionals, policymakers and the broader community.

Leaving the industry

The 2023 Umbrella Wellbeing report, which recorded New Zealanders’ perceptions of their workplaces and wellbeing, warns that long working hours and poor workplace cultures have adverse health outcomes, with New Zealand faring worse than Australia.

Nearly one in ten of the chefs surveyed suffered mental distress. Results showed high levels of physical and mental fatigue (“exhausted at work”, “emotionally drained”, “becoming disconnected”).

Respondents reported disrupted sleep and unhealthy lifestyles. Almost 15% of the sample consumed alcohol five or more days weekly, with 11.4% saying they had consumed hard drugs (LSD, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or ecstasy) in the past year.

One in five hospitality professionals experiences depression according to charity The Burnt Chef Project . In a spoken-word performance for the project, poet and writer Joe Bellman describes “defeated faces and lifeless eyes” behind the kitchen door, where “breaking the human spirit is just company policy”.

The majority of respondents said they were likely (with 20% extremely likely) to look for a new employer during the next year. Many of these new jobs will be outside hospitality (which is classified within the overall tourism sector).

Another report commissioned last year by the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) found a third of hospitality and tourism workers had high intentions of completely quitting the industries. Reasons included low pay and conditions, stress and toxic work environments.

Mental health and healthy hospo

Maybe not surprisingly, our survey showed intention to quit a job declines with better management support. Failure to improve working conditions for chefs, however, will have lasting consequences for the industry.

The Better Work Action Plan, the first phase of New Zealand’s Tourism Industry Transformation Plan , was launched by MBIE in 2023 under the previous government. It followed extensive consultation with representatives from hospitality and tourism, Māori, unions, workers and government.

Its aim was to develop a sustainable tourism workforce by addressing longstanding issues of low pay and poor conditions across the sector.

The first step involved hospitality and tourism workers receiving government approval to negotiate an industry-wide fair pay agreement. However, the current coalition government immediately scrapped fair pay legislation.

The Australian government’s post-Covid tourism recovery strategy, THRIVE 2030 , has committed to “promote employment standards” regarding compliance obligations and fair work. If effective, these would address the breaches evident in our study.

The hospitality industry relies on young people actively choosing a culinary career. But MBIE forecasts show students are less likely to seek hospitality jobs given these problems in the sector.

By chance, however, New Zealand’s new minister for mental health , Matt Doocey, is also tourism and hospitality minister. It is now up to him to make the connection between his portfolios, and work to reduce the heat in the nation’s commercial kitchens.

English Language Foundation

This unit focuses on your ability to understand and use the English language accurately when you read, speak, listen and write. We will concentrate on the English you need for undergraduate level study in your chosen subject area, covering grammar, subject area vocabulary and the four language skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

A key element of the unit is the grammar of the language, and particularly the verb tense system in English, because your ability to use the verb tense system accurately will be extremely important when you come to write essays and reports. This unit will focus in particular on the grammar of the language.

We will also focus on reading, listening and speaking skills in the context of your chosen subject area. Beginning with short texts, we will practise each skill and practise it again, so that gradually you will see, hear and feel that your command of the language is improving. 

A recurring focus of the unit will be your acquisition of 'learner autonomy'. This means your ability to acquire the language yourself, without needing a teacher's help. This is important because from next year you will not have an English teacher to help you. So we will consider and practise strategies to help you gain confidence in your own ability to increase your knowledge of and ability to use the language, including for instance guessing meaning of difficult words, deciding which words are important in a text, recognising differences between formal and informal language, and other strategies, so that as the first semester continues, you begin to feel more confident in your use and experience with the English Language.

Academic Skills Foundation

When you begin your undergraduate level studies, you will be expected to have knowledge of and ability to use a large range of 'study skills'. You will also be expected to have some knowledge of the subject area you will  be studying. This unit deals with both of these aspects of your preparation for undergraduate level study. 

All of the academic skills are practised in English, so you will use your developing acquisition of the language from the partner unit 'English Language Foundation' to practise and gain mastery of these skills. You will also use your language and study skills as you learn the foundation of your subject area, putting the skills into practice as you learn.

Developing English Language Skills

This unit builds on the progress you made during its partner semester 1 unit 'English Language Foundation' and increasing your level from that which you had achieved by the end of semester 1. 

We will recycle the tense system in English and other elements of the grammar system, but you will  now learn how to use other aspects of the grammar, including the passive voice, as well as linking words and phrases and devices which enable you to write longer sentences but retain grammatical accuracy. 

You will notice that we gradually introduce more specialist language that you need in preparation for your degree and we will expect you to use and develop the skills that you gained in the previous units so that you are able to work more independently.

Academic Skills Development

This unit builds on the skills learnt and practised in its partner semester 1 unit 'Foundation Academic Skills'. We will add more skills to the list, including summarizing and synthesising, argumentation, critical thinking and referencing and citation skills, as well as several others and practise and test them in the same way as with the semester 1 unit.

We will also investigate the research skill and you will learn how to prepare a research proposal and conduct a literature review, and how to plan a research project, learning about the research tools available and how they can be used to conduct research in your chosen field. 

You will continue to broaden your knowledge of key current issues and theory in your chosen subject area, and apply the critical thinking and argumentation skills you acquire in this unit to argue for and against propositions you have studied in the form of in both essays and presentations and in seminar situations, ensuring that you are ready to step up to your chosen undergraduate course with a base level of subject area knowledge from which to continue your academic development as you progress to level 4 study.
