Tourism Management and Marketing at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin (UMCS) is a two-year, full-time Master's programme with a general academic profile, taught in English at the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Spatial Management. It is designed for those who want to manage tourism businesses, products and destinations and understand what 21st-century travellers expect.
The programme combines economic, social and geographical knowledge. You study, among other things:
You can follow an individualised learning path and use a range of information sources, including industry databases, while industry professionals and international faculty take part in teaching.
Because tourism is a real and significant sector of the economy, the programme includes a relatively large number of practical elements. Outside the programme you can take paid international internships and join certified training courses that develop professional and personal skills. Student conferences, workshops, scientific associations and the Student Government give you further room to grow.
Through Erasmus+ you can study abroad, and classes taught by foreign academic staff help you build an international network already at UMCS.
Graduates are prepared to manage tourism activities at local, regional and global levels – in private companies organising tourism, in the management of tourism products and destinations, or in public institutions that promote tourism nationally and internationally. Typical roles include manager, tourism market analyst, marketing specialist and project manager.
Other paths lead to travel agencies, hotels, event and cultural agencies and sports centres, to work as a tour guide or travel coordinator, or to starting your own tourism business.
