Course overview

The Bachelor’s Degree Programme and related Career Counselling (pursuant to Ministerial Decree no. 6/2019) in ‘Hospitality Innovation and e-Tourism’ provide for an international educational programme aimed to prepare new professional profiles. The Programme is entirely taught in English, and it combines management skills in the Hospitality Industry and other competencies related to digital transformation and sustainability of tourism services. Moreover, graduates will acquire knowledge related to the economic, cultural, anthropological, and environmental aspects of tourism.

Thanks to the combination of theory lessons, workshops, and internships in hospitality businesses, graduates will acquire specific operational skills which will promptly favour their access to the labour market. Given the professional nature of this Programme, graduates usually do not enrol in MAs.  The skills and competencies provided for in the 'Hospitality Innovation and e-Tourism' Bachelor’s Degree Programme can be divided into three intertwined macro-components.

  • The first component mainly consists of the managing skills (financial and economic management, marketing, HR management, organisation, management control system, legal aspects, etc);
  • The second macro-component is linked to digital and ICT technologies, as well as statistics skills;
  • The third macro-component of the programme aims to provide graduates with the ability to link tourism to specific social and cultural aspects of the territory (museology, history, geography, etc.) including skills in foreign languages and Asian cultures.

Along with the English language, this Programme also provides graduates with the study of another European language.

Examination assessment and graduation

The Bachelor’s Degree Programme educational activities are provided through lectures, workshops, and internships which will help students acquire all practical and theory skills required to work in this field, as well as the ability to constantly update.
Learning will be assessed through written and oral exams; students will be requested to write specific reports to be presented and discussed in class.
The learning activity includes class lectures, workshops, seminars, and internships designed to provide for a large set of skills required to face the labour market.
The student’s competencies will be assessed over their university career through written and oral exams.
