1. Which course should I take?
If you’re looking for a part-time programme of study you should first enrol for Virgin Atlantic Air Travel Level One which is an ideal introductory course and will best prepare you for further study options. Whether you are considering a full-time or part-time course, we would always recommend that before choosing a course you should contact one of the Travel Studies team who will advise you. Better still, come to the School and see us! Contact us on 020 8516 7813 or email tourism@greenwich-college.ac.uk.


2. How can I pay for the course?
1. Part-time students are encouraged to simply pay for each module as they take them (unless you choose to enrol for one our combination courses and benefit from a discount of paying in advance). The initial deposit (which is deducted from the course fee) is payable with the application.
2. Full-time students pay per semester. For example the 8-month full-time ‘B’ Diploma in Airline and Travel Studies is £1,090 at the beginning of each semester. Instalments can be arranged, with the total fee increased accordingly by between 5% and 10%. The registration fee is payable with the application.
3. Overseas students must make a substantial contribution toward their course fees before applying for a student visa.


3. Can I mix study modes?
Part-time students are welcome to study some modules during the week, others in the evening and even more on Saturdays, either one after the other or at the same time! All we ask is that you should stick with the same mode of study for an individual module as the structure will vary. For example, you could study Galileo GDS all day on Monday, whilst also attending Air Travel Level One on Tuesday and Thursday evening together with Airport Customer Service on Saturday afternoon.


4. Which Tourism Courses are suitable for Overseas Students?
Since the introduction of the UKBA’s Tier 4 regulations, overseas students must enrol on a course of a recognised academic level.
