Do you want to pursue a career within event, tourism, sports or leisure?
ZIBAT Campus Roskilde (Business & IT) offers you a bachelor programme in Leisure Management.
The Bachelor of Leisure Management is a unique programme aimed at the event, tourism, sports and hospitality sectors. The programme opens a door to an exciting world and you will experience a study environment focused on your needs. Included in your 3½-year bachelor-degree will be a 6-month internship.
Generalist or specialist?
The Bachelor programme in Leisure Management gives you the option of either a broad study of the various kinds of leisure business, or specialisation in a particular area of the leisure industry.
In the course of the programme, you can choose between the following specialisations:
* Leisure Management (generalist)
* Tourism Management
* Sports Management
* Event Management
You achieve a particular specialisation through your electives, your choice of company for the internship, and your choice of subject for your final bachelor thesis. You make these choices about halfway through the programme, which gives you ample opportunity to get to know the programme and the different subject areas, before you choose your specialisation.
Leisure Economy
We live in a world in which spare time is more than just time off. Increasingly, we want enjoyment and adventure instead of just relaxing and “time off”. Adding value to goods by means of dreams, promises and positive associations has become essential to the success of a product.
As a result, the leisure economy is growing more than any other sector in the world. And the need for competent managers and staff members is going only one way – and that is up!
The Leisure Industry
There is an increasing demand for quality leisure activities in the shape of holidays, sports events, concerts, theatre and opera performances, art exhibitions, amusement parks and shopping. The ultimate success of a product or service is determined by the amount of excitement and enjoyment associated with its use or consumption.
The need for competent employers and employees is urgent.
The Programme - Upon Graduation

The purpose of the course is to educate bachelors in Leisure Management who can carry out duties related to events, tourism, sports or hospitality in the marketplace, independently and professionally – with focus on small and medium-size businesses and especially in the field of international business-to-business sales.

Teaching switches between lectures and project group work and we include a broad variety of different teaching activities, such as event-planning,
real-life projects and collaboration with companies and organisations in the leisure industry.
Curriculum
The study programme is a 3½-year full-time programme which corresponds to 210 ECTS credits.
The programme is divided into seven semesters, including a company internship and a bachelor thesis.
The internship period
The company internship (normally unpaid) is comparable with a full-time job with the same requirements with regard to working hours, contribution,
commitment and flexibility, which the graduate would expect to find in his/her first job.
The aims and the objectives of the internship will be decided by the student and two supervisors (one from Campus Roskilde and one from the company).
The internship period concludes with an assessment based on a written report drawn up by the student and an evaluation carried out by the company.
Bachelor thesis
The thesis will take the central topics of the study programme as its starting point and can contain elements from the internship.
The problem statement for the project is prepared by the student, preferably in collaboration with a company. The problem statement of the project must be approved by Campus Roskilde.

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
