Overview
Key facts
Lincoln University Canterbury's Parks, Recreation and Tourism research-based Master’s lets you blend study and application across areas like agriculture, industry, transport, communications, recreation and tourism. Then relate these to vitally important subjects like international rural development and the management and conservation of our biosphere and natural resources.
The Parks, Recreation and Tourism specialisation is a more recent response from Lincoln to study fields that are critically relevant to understanding and working with the economic, social and cultural fabric of modern-day societies. You’ll gain an understanding of the complexity of the tourism, recreation and parks sectors, and cultivate an appreciation of the impact political systems, policy bodies, local and global economies and environmental change can have. You’ll also be able to contribute at an advanced level to recreation planning and development with sophisticated insights into the complexities and nuances of both the recreation and tourism industries.
