The program is offered in a three-semester and a four-semester variant. Applicants with a bachelor's degree of 210 or more credit points (CP) according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ETCS) can choose between three and four semesters, while applicants with less than 210 CP are required to take the four-semester version.
The content of the master's program is divided into the areas of International business administration (e.g. management concepts, entrepreneurship, international marketing) and International tourism management (e.g. choice of three out of six tourism specializations as well as travel technology).
The modular structure of the program ensures that the individual subjects and study achievements are optimally coordinated in terms of content and time. Upon passing the modules, a certain number of credit points will be awarded in each case. To successfully complete the program, you will need a total of 90 LP in the three-semester variant and 120 LP in the four-semester variant including a practical semester or semester abroad. Details can be found in the curriculum and module manual.
