Tourism Business Studies is the title of the 6-semester Bachelor program at MCI Management THE_ICE.jpgCenter Innsbruck. The special focus of this academic program lies in a distinct orientation to entrepreneurial approaches in tourism and leisure. The program is based upon a comprehensive business administration curriculum which then specializes in the areas of marketing, finance, entrepreneurial studies and leadership (corporate governance).

The practiceorientation, a feature of Austrian ‘Universities of Applied Sciences’ being highly appreciated by the business world, is achieved by a high number of business experts at the faculty as well as the particularly strong project-orientation of the study program. The great demand shown by Austrian and international students strengthens our conviction that the study program opens new perspectives, promotes careers and makes a significant contribution to further qualify people in the tourism and leisure sector.
