The course introduces students to the research knowledge skills necessary for a university degree. Using tourism theory and discourse, the course introduces students to critical reading, writing and thinking skills. Through providing students with a solid theoretical grounding in tourism, the course offers students the opportunity to develop and grow their analytical and evaluative skills in order to connect ideas, theories and frameworks within an interdisciplinary context. The course will engage students in problem solving and allow them to understand the relationships between concepts, theories and practical situations.

The course will introduce students to literature reviews and critical reviews of literature, qualitative and quantitative data, and secondary sources.
