Program description
The MSc in Hospitality and Tourism Management program at ACT is a unique program that is fully accredited in the USA through NECHE, and validated in the EU by the Open University, UK.
To fulfill all graduation requirements, students must complete 9 compulsory courses, one of which is a choice between a Thesis or an Applied Business Project (Internship).
All taught courses meet once a week for 7 weeks, including final exams, in a hybrid fashion, alternating between in-person and online meetings, i.e., there are three in-person meetings & three online meetings each term.
All sessions run from 18:00-22:30, including session breaks.
The Thesis and Applied Business Project courses are arranged flexibly between the student, instructor, and supervisor.
In addition to the modules taught, a series of compulsory, non-credit workshops give students the opportunity to improve skills such as leadership, communication and project management which are highly demanded by employers. Other advantages in terms of career development include the program’s international environment, the flexible format of delivery, the quality and experience of the faculty, the experiential learning and the extensive networking opportunities.
The MSc Hospitality & Tourism Management is validated by The Open University.
