International Tourism Management – (B.Sc.)

The International Tourism Management programme is directed at sustainable tourism development with a concern for the community. Tourism can make a useful contribution to the (economical) development of a place, region or country if sustainable tourism is the starting point of the development.

The International Tourism Management programme trains students for management, policy-making and consultancy positions in the international tourism industry.

Design

The programme is based on a course at strategic management level leading to a bachelor's degree. The school works with a modular system, i.e. each module is centred on a certain theme related to practical issues in leisure and tourism.
Contact hours are intensive, students work in groups of max. 14 students and are expected to participate actively. The minimum number of contact hours is 5, and the maximum is 12.
In any case, students will have to study independently and do project work adding up to an average workload of 40 hours a week. One such week represents one study point. In order to improve the student's ability to work in different teams, module groups are changed every six weeks.
