This module will introduce students to the latest research, issues and challenges in the hospitality and tourism industry in the context of ethics and values. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for the module.
The module is developed by and offered as a Short-Advanced Programme (SAP) in conjunction with TUS: Midlands-Midwest (Athlone) and NHL Stenden, offered through the RUN-EU network. As such, a period of international mobility forms a core part of the module. Eligible students will be required to take an international fieldtrip to the partner and will work collaboratively with students from all RUN-EU partner institutions on the SAP.
The aim of the module is to develop in students a critical understanding of ethical and value related research relevant to hospitality management and to provide experience of learning in a field-based setting.
