Overview

In addition to the educational basics in the sectors of the economy, business, statistics, and law, the degree course combines practical preparation in the fields of psychology, sociology, geography, and linguistics, with particular attention to territory and its cultural connotations.
The degree coursework is organized into foundational subjects regarding geographic, statistic, and legal features of tourism and core subjects involving fundamental knowledge in specific fields of economy, marketing, sociology, and psychology applied to tourism. It will also include the essential features of historical, historical-artistic, and museological fields. Significant space is given to hands-on activities that foster personal experience, aimed at developing a student’s formative background through laboratory activities, practical experience, and in-depth seminar work. This background will be developed through on-site visits in Italy and abroad to parks, cities of art, museums, and trips aimed at the exploration of specific topics. In addition, students will participate in internships with institutions and organizations in the field, companies, public administration, and engage in study periods with other Italian and international universities.
