Description of the programme
In this program, you undergo a combination of practical training within a company and academic distance learning. The majority of your total study duration will be spent within the company, where you become integrated into its operational processes. Here, you assume your own tasks and projects at an early stage. The subject knowledge acquired during the course can be directly applied in a real-world professional context. Therefore, a dual study program not only ensures an early immersion in practical work and comprehensive training but also increases the prospects of transitioning into a permanent job immediately after graduation. An additional advantage is that during your dual study, you receive a monthly training allowance, and typically, the training costs are covered by the employer.
What makes our dual study models unique is that it doesn't matter whether you complete your practical training in your hometown or anywhere else in the world; at our university, you can pursue your studies flexibly and location-independently through distance learning.
Within the dual study program in Tourism Management, you will acquire:
A solid foundation in business and industry-specific knowledge.
An integrated understanding of the tourism industry.
Knowledge about international economic and societal interconnections.
Professional, methodological, and social competencies.
The ability to handle key business activities in an operational, strategic, and autonomous manner.
