Annotation
Would you like to organise events or put together individual trips? Developing strategies to make a city more attractive as a tourist destination or creating concepts for the further development of a hotel? The professions and careers in tourism are extremely diverse. With the degree programme with vocational and academic elements in Tourism Management, you will be prepared for the wide range of tasks in this industry and can set your own focus with your specialisation. During your studies, you will regularly switch between theory and practice. So you always apply your knowledge directly.
In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements at the IU, you will study in one of the following two study models. In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements, lectures take place on two days per week on campus – occasionally also online via live video conference. Students then reinforce what they have learned using the learning materials. The "myStudium" degree programme with vocational and academic elements combines flexible self-study with digital learning formats. You will acquire the theory independently via myCampus – supported by innovative learning materials and Syntea, your personal AI learning assistant. Optionally, you can participate in weekly virtual accompanying courses as well as use other interactive live formats to deepen your knowledge.
