First level degree

The first level degree course is intended for:

• Italian citizens and citizens of other Mediterranean countries in possession of a high school diploma
• Highly-motivated students with a good knowledge of computers, a good level in English, and who have passed their final high school exam with excellent grades.

First Level Degree Course Programme Outline

Programmes

The degree course in Tourism Sciences offers two distinct programmes of study which share a common core:

1. Business and Economics – The students will focus on:

• tourism economics and statistics
• design and management of tourism businesses.

2. History, Art and Social Sciences - The students will focus on:

• developing and exploiting tourism resources (cultural and food-related tourism,  exhibits, events, theme parks, ecotourism)
• the promotion of the territory
• tourism communication for public and private organizations (e.g. paper and electronic publishing).

Specialization in the two programmes occurs for the most part during the third year, through separate exams and/or a different valuation of the credits earned in the common subjects.

Courses

In addition, students will be required to take elective courses, an internship in tourism-related businesses or institutions and a final exam.
