This Master of Business Management program with a specialization in Tourism & Travel offers a challenging academic experience that blends case studies and research with practical application. Through project weeks, professional inquiry, and a professional-based learning module that may include a work placement, students gain hands-on experience often connected to their final project. The curriculum combines core MBA subjects with broader modules in economics and management, exploring topics like global economics, strategic management, and globalization to deepen understanding of business administration. The tourism sector is a significant global industry, projected for continued growth, requiring professionals equipped to navigate its diverse and evolving dynamics.
The Master's program is delivered in a block format, with two modules covered every 6 weeks. Core modules are inter-disciplinary, shared with students from other specializations. Teaching methods are interactive, including group work, case studies, presentations, and live projects. Each module is taught by two lecturers, often one full-time Wittenborg lecturer and a guest lecturer from a partner university, with regular industry guest speakers.
The tourism industry requires graduates with strong critical thinking, communication, administration, and global perspective skills, applicable to a wide range of roles. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in customer service, management, NGOs, development agencies, and government organizations.

Non-EU students requiring a visa are subject to a screening process which includes an interview, submission of all required documents for immigration purposes, and proof of sufficient funds, considering any scholarships.
