Practical studies with excellent career prospects
On the Master’s programme in International Tourism Management, you will deepen your knowledge of the tourism industry. The programme is open to Bachelor’s graduates from all disciplines, regardless of whether you have already studied tourism or are coming from a different field.
- Take your knowledge to the next level: you’ll become an expert in the tourism industry and acquire the knowledge and skills you need as a specialist or manager in one of the world’s most important economic sectors.
- Learn what matters – straight from the field: through projects, case studies and work placements with tourism companies, you’ll gain valuable experience and build a professional network.
- The choice is yours: if you have earned at least 210 ECTS credits with your Bachelor’s degree, you can complete your Master’s programme in just three semesters.

Your career prospects
Tourism is a major economic sector and a key employer in Germany. Digitalisation and increasing sustainability requirements are transforming the industry. There is a demand for skilled professionals who can help shape this transformation.
This degree programme prepares you for careers in almost all areas of tourism and transport.
Course content
In the first semester, you will deepen your knowledge of general business administration. An introductory module on specialised business administration in the tourism sector will familiarise you with the specific characteristics of organisations within the tourism industry. You will then choose your own individual specialisation within international tourism management, entirely in line with your interests. You can choose from the full range of tourism stakeholders:
- Tour operator and travel distribution management
- Transport management
- Regional tourism development
- Hotel management
- Business travel management
- Event Management
Foreign-language and intercultural modules complement your degree programme and open up new perspectives for you in an international context.
Right from the start, practical projects and real-world case studies complement your theoretical training. In the final semester, you’ll develop practical solutions to real-world challenges as part of the ‘Business Case Study’. Whether through a business simulation or a case study conducted in close collaboration with a company, you’ll gain deep insight into the world of international tourism management.
In addition, in the four-semester programme option, you can choose to integrate a work placement semester into your studies. During this, you will spend at least 20 weeks at a company of your choice. You will gain valuable professional experience, build up industry-specific knowledge and apply your theoretical knowledge in practice.
To complete your degree, you will write your Master’s thesis.
