Study tourism management with a focus on responsible and sustainable tourism

During the first academic year, the student learns the basics of business and the operating environment of the tourism industry. General transferable skills, such as language and communication skills, research and development competence, entrepreneurship skills and ICT skills also develop during the first and second year of studies.

In the second year of studies, the student advances his/her competence in core studies in tourism.  International exchange or practical training abroad are included in the studies due to the international character of the industry.

Studies in the third year emphasise innovation and development competence and deepening the professional understanding in the student’s area of special expertise. 

Examples of job titles include congress manager, hotel manager, event coordinator, product developer, customer service manager, team leader and hotel reception manager. 

Tourism and hospitality business is international by its very nature. In addition to our own studies in JAMK you should deepen your knowledge and competences abroad. Our partner institutions provide high quality education. Here you can see some examples of our wide network.  Select the appropriate theme and destination, apply for exchange and become a distinguished professional! During the study abroad period students have the possibility to increase their professional know-how, improve their personal knowledge and skills and get to know different languages and cultures as well as make new friends and create worldwide networks that can improve chances of employment after graduation.
