The tourism and leisure industry are one of the most exciting and fastest-growing sectors: new markets, new concepts, new trends and a growing demand for sustainable tourism, hospitality and travel offerings. This programme combines business acumen, tourism development, and languages together with a diverse set of fundamental tourism & hospitality courses. We encourage our students to look at the industry from an interrelated perspective touching on leisure tourism concepts, business travel concepts and hospitality concepts.
We advise students to choose courses for approx.. 30 ECTS per semester.

Please read the prerequisites of every course carefully before applying.
You can find detailed information by clicking on the course. Thomas More remains the right to change the learning agreement upon arrival if the student doesn’t meet the requirements to enter the course.
Language courses: exchange students must include in their application a document stating their actual level of the chosen language.
The combination of courses from different phases can be restricted by planning issues.
