Bachelor in Tourism Management

Tourism is a diverse and forward-looking industry that plays an important economic role in almost every country in the world. Experts predict another 70 million jobs over the next decade with a wealth of exciting career opportunities around the world. In Tourism Management you will get to know all aspects of the dynamic and customer-oriented tourism industry while developing your management skills. Successful graduates work for major tour operators, national tourism offices, trade fair and convention organisers, consulting firms, hotel chains and airlines.
Our professors and lecturers attach great importance to the close integration of theory and practice. Most of them have themselves gained many years of specialist and management experience on an international level – and would like to share it. They do this for example through case studies, projects and field trips to renowned companies.
