We train economists who are well-versed in the economic and regulatory environment of travel agencies, hotels and restaurants. We recommend this programme to those who, in addition to well-founded, and broad knowledge of economics, also want to acquire practical expertise in the hospitality sector. During the training, students get to know the business world, and the cultural factors of domestic and foreign travel organization; the hotel industry, hospitality, gastronomy; and acquire the special operational knowledge of the sector’s enterprises, and the basics of related management on the marketing, legal and communication fields.
The practical nature of the training is strengthened by the project tasks, and the two-semester mandatory professional internship, during which students participate in longer-term practical training at an external location. Graduates of the course have knowledge of the international and intercultural connections of the tourism-hospitality sector. They learn the peculiarities of working in projects and groups, as well as develop their professional language skills in order to stand their ground in a multinational environment.
