Special Week
In addition to the regular courses of the curriculum, a “special week” takes place once per semester. International experts from the tourism 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 tourism industry. The seminars and workshops thus offered provide our students with the opportunity to look into current industry-specific issues.
