FEATUREDCOURSES
Brand Management and Strategy
MKTG2508
Products are the lifeblood of an organisation,
and thus it is important for managers to
understand the role of the product and brand
management in gaining and maintaining
customer loyalty. This course is designed to
develop knowledge, skills and perspectives
to support the application of managing
products and developing brand strategies in
the marketing area.
Responsible Tourism and Ethics
TOUR3006
This cutting-edge course takes a
contemporary approach to the study
of tourism development, demand and
management. Moving beyond the “rhetoric”
of sustainable development (and sustainable
tourism), it is designed to introduce you to
a series of concepts and theories within
the realms of responsible tourism, ethics,
corporate social responsibility and destination
stewardship, including sustainable tourism
for eliminating poverty (pro-poor tourism),
cultural heritage management and protected
area management. Responsible tourist
behaviours are also examined.
Introduction to Human Resource
Management
MGTS2604
Human Resource Management (HRM)
is about the deployment of people in
organisations: it is about the policies,
functions and practices that are designed
to attract, motivate and retain employees
for organisational success. This course
will introduce you to the field of HRM, to
the theories and approaches, concepts
and techniques that are employed in best
practice organisations. Understanding the
significance, breadth and dynamic nature of
the field is necessary for sound professional
HRM practice by Human Resource
professionals and by general managers.
Behavioural and Evolutionary
Economics
ECON2060
The course gives a guided exploration
of the new developments and insights in
the field of behavioural economics, mainly
motivated by the evolutionary changes in
the major factors of production (labour,
capital, technology and institutions). The
course will contain material from outside
traditional economics, including insights
from neuroscience, cognitive psychology,
laboratory experiments and historical
studies. The diverse material in the
course, including a considerable degree
of mathematical formalisation, will place
relatively high demands on students.
Health Economics
ECON2460
This course explores the descriptive and
theoretical aspects of health and medical
services; demand and supply for health
insurance, hospitals and related services;
equity versus efficiency in services;
health financing and health systems; and
evaluation techniques.
Event Marketing
EVNT2004
Long- and short-term strategies for
events along with enhanced marketing
and management skills are essential in
the dynamic and competitive environment
that now characterises the fast-growing
events sector. Moreover, the study of events
and festival marketing has emerged as a
distinctive academic focus in response to
the worldwide growth of events as service
experiences. Events represent a unique form
of service product development to satisfy
diverse stakeholders including consumers
(residents and/or tourists), government,
community and cultural groups, media and
business sponsors or financiers. This course
provides insights into the principles of event
marketing and their application in real-world
settings. It explores the development of
event marketing objectives, strategies, plans
and related research.

MARIALOOR
(PERU)
Study Abroad student
“
ECON2060 Behavioural and
Evolutionary Economics
is one of the
most interesting courses I’ve done. I
learnt how important it is to consider
humans as more than just economic
agents. Analysing their behaviour from
a psychological point of view helps
us understand how people work
and react to incentives, which is of
vital importance when designing and
creating successful economic policies.”
