Study course Business Administration
Speciality Hotel and Tourism Management
Well-qualified employees are one of the most important contributory factors to a company’s success. Specialist knowledge, soft skills and practical experience determine the level of competence and commitment in the firm. The Business Studies course in the form of a sandwich course alternating between the University of Cooperative Education and the company forms the ideal foundation:
Our parallel classroom/company timetable (2½ days practical training and (minimum) two days per week in the University) ensures on-going integration in the company and introduction to practical assignments. Students become actively engaged in the firm’s daily activities from early on.
The overall economic environment
Tourism markets change ever more rapidly. New trends necessitate a high degree of flexibility and professionalism in terms of advice, tender conditions and implementation of individual customer demands on the part of contractors, service providers and organisers alike.
The University of Cooperative Education prepares students by means of sophisticated, management-orientated academic study to find the latest and most effective solutions for the industry.

The course objectives in 3 years at the University of Cooperative Education are ambitious. As a result, we demand from our students an above-average commitment, both in the company and in the classroom, as well as exceptional interest in their specific subjects and in the overall economic context.
