Entry requirements
The typical student enrolling in the MSc in Tourism Organizations Management commands the English language at an academic level and holds a Bachelor's degree (B.A.) in Management, Hospitality Management, Tourism or related academic, scientific and professional curriculum. Graduates in other scientific areas may also apply. All B.A's granted by an European Union University under the terms of the Bolonha Treaty are eligible. Yet, if your B.A. was awarded by a non-European Union University, your admission is conditional on a positive assessment by our School's Scientific Board.
In some special circumstances, students that do not hold a B.A. are also eligible to apply to the program. These students must have a professional and academic curriculum that is deemed suitable to this end by the Scientific Board of the School of Economics. Cases such as this are analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
