About this position
This Commonwealth Scholarship supports a place on the MSc Responsible Tourism Management at Leeds Beckett University.
The award is tied to a single postgraduate programme and is designed for working professionals in the tourism sector. Study is delivered part-time by distance learning from the student’s home country over three years, with on-campus periods each year. The advert notes that previous field trips have taken place in Kenya and The Gambia, and that Ghana is planned for the 2026 cohort.
The scholarship is administered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in collaboration with Leeds Beckett University and funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. It is a small, highly targeted scheme with only five awards available for the September 2026 intake.
The programme combines postgraduate study with annual field-based learning linked to the field trip component, making it a strong fit for applicants seeking advanced training in responsible tourism within an international Commonwealth framework.
