The MA International Tourism Management is a multidisciplinary Master Programme that has been created by the university's Business Faculties in close consultation with business, industry and the professions in response to a challenging and rapidly developing organisational environment. Focused on tourism studies in combination with business management and its international aspects, the course will be of benefit for those who wish to start or pursue a career within a wide range of globally operating local, regional, national and international tourism organisations.

The MA International Tourism Management offers a series of benefits and assets, namely:

* lectures delivered entirely in English

* integrated project work
* a favourable student-lecturer ratio
* an international learning environment
* sustained teaching quality by systematic student appraisal.


Contents

The MA International Tourism Management is dedicated to qualifying first-degree holders for management positions in globally operating tourism organisations. It is intended to equip future business leaders with the subject knowledge and the methodological, interpersonal and intercultural skills which will enable them to (inter)act appropriately and responsibly in a diverse environment.

The MA International Tourism Management comprises three major stages. The programme starts with an induction period, during which the students assess their current level of subject knowledge by participating in a Business Simulation game. The foundation stage in semester 1 familiarizes them with the fundamental issues of International Tourism Studies as well as Business Management and its international aspects.

Semester 2 offers advanced studies. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, this phase provides an opportunity to increase the participants' expertise in Business Management and Research Methodology. In addition, the students specialize in International Tourism Management by participating in a comprehensive tourism project.

Semester 3 has been earmarked as the thesis stage. The Master Thesis requires in-depth research in the student's chosen area. Ideally, the thesis is based on real situations in international tourism companies or organisations.

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.

Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
