Description

The objective of the Master's programme is to enable you to develop professional competences which qualify you to work as a practice-oriented agent of change within enterprises and organisations in Denmark and abroad.

The Tourism Master's Programme focuses on three key areas of expertise: tourism markets and market communication; tourism policy and business development as well as organisation and management within the tourism industry. The study draws on a wide range of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, and in terms of examples and cases the focus is truly international. English is the language of teaching and administration.

The Tourism Master's Programme consists of four semesters: two theoretical semesters, a semester as either an intern in a tourism organisation or as a student of tourism at another university and a thesis semester.
