Four-year undergraduate program with academic & language support

The Bachelor of Arts in Global Tourism Management is a unique four-year undergraduate program for international students, Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

You'll receive academic and English language support in your first two years to prepare you for success in your degree and career.

You'll be studying on campus with other international students for your first two years of the program. After this, you'll join years three and four with domestic and international students in the regular undergraduate degree completion program.

Our small class sizes mean that you'll get to know your classmates and instructors by name.

You'll take classes with a group of students from around the world. You'll start and finish your courses and program at the same time. This group of students will become your support network during your program, and part of your professional network once you graduate.

Program delivery

First year: International foundations (three semesters)

During your first year, you'll take a set program of English language, academic preparation and academic courses.

You'll take the same courses as students in the other four-year degree programs with academic and language support, and one global tourism elective.

Courses will provide you with a foundation in global citizenship, critical thinking, independent and inquiry-based learning, intercultural relationships, communication and social justice.

You'll explore:

  • what it means to be a global citizen
  • how to analyze global issues from different perspectives
  • Canadian history and identity

And you'll learn through the in the following activities:

  • writing blogs and filming newscasts
  • researching and writing essays
  • creating your own non-governmental organization
  • engaging in lively discussions and debates
  • volunteering with a local service organization and learning about Canadian society

Second year

During your second year, you'll take introductory courses related to global tourism management with other students in this program.

At the end of your second year, you'll have a 12-week work placement. You'll apply and expand your knowledge, while you gain valuable career experience.

Read first and second year course descriptions.

Third and fourth year (degree completion)

In your third and fourth years, you'll join other students in the degree completion program. This consists of four semesters of courses and another 12-week internship.

You'll engage with professionals from the tourism sector and experienced faculty who have worked around the world.

The program ­focuses on global tourism opportunities, trends and issues.

Read course descriptions.

You'll graduate with tools, knowledge, practical experience and connections to advance your career in tourism and hospitality anywhere in the world. You'll learn to use entrepreneurship, leadership, and management skills to contribute to community and business development. And you'll graduate with a competitive advantage.

You can build to here

If you don't meet the English language requirement for this program, you may be conditionally admitted.

To meet the minimum level of English proficiency for the program, you can take an academic preparation and English language program at our Global Learning and Language Centre. 

After you successfully complete one, two or three semesters in an intensive English program, you'll be ready to begin your first year of this undergraduate degree program.

I found it really beneficial to be in a cohort at royal roads rather than be in a big lecture hall.
