Special Week

In addition to the regular courses of the curriculum, a “special week” takes place once per semester. International experts from the hospitality industry as well as lecturers from other universities join us on campus for a whole week and impart their knowledge on specific aspects of the hospitality industry. The seminars and workshops thus offered provide our students with the opportunity to look into current industry-specific issues.
