As a Master's graduate, you will have a broad, detailed and critical understanding of the tourism and transport industry that goes far beyond the knowledge gained in your Bachelor's degree. You will be able to independently carry out projects in professional practice and take on outstanding responsibility in a team. The program is designed in such a way that you will specialize in selected areas in tourism and transportation. These include in particular:
- Tour operators, online and offline travel distribution
- Transport carriers (airlines, rail, bus, cruises, car rental)
- Tourist destinations (tourism organizations, incoming agencies)
- Hotel, parahotel and hospitality industry
- Business travel agencies and travel departments in companies
- Events (trade fairs, congresses, marketing events)
Your career prospects as graduates are therefore consistently positive, as the travel and tourism industry is expected to see a significant increase in demand for more highly qualified tourism business management specialists in the coming years. The university degree as "Master of Arts (M.A.)" not only qualifies you to take on management tasks, but also entitles you to take up doctoral studies.
