Program Overview

Program Description:

Hereby, the aspect of sustainability in tourism represents a particular core subject. More and more today's holidaymakers are not only booking the cheapest hotel and want their own familiar cuisine, but now place particular value on getting to know destinations where the landscape and resources have not been destroyed for years to come or have been wasted by touristic development in the region. The focus is now diverted from personal benefit to that of the inhabitants at the holiday destination. Not only small and medium-sized companies are reacting to this changed demand but increasingly also the larger tourism concerns. This is why in the lectures and seminars the Master students at the Cologne Business School are confronted - among other things - with the aspects of ethics, responsibility and sustainability in tourism.

The Cologne Business School‘s mission statement is to design the study organisation and contents of the degree courses in accordance with the students‘ employability. International lecturers and rigid organisation enable efficient, forwardlooking studying. Small study groups and intense student support by the professors are the hallmark of the learning atmosphere at the CBS. A network of partner universities in several countries and intense contacts to the economy already provide the opportunity of gaining international study and work experience during studies. This helps you to lay a solid foundation for a successful career, providing you with the ideal prerequisites for rapid access to interesting companies.

We wish to develop and extend your social competence. For this purpose, we orientate ourselves by the requirements profile for internationally operative managers. As well as communicating application-related knowledge, we therefore support your professional and social skills to the same extent as your societal and cultural sensitivity and your courage to provide fact-based, well substantiated opinions. You learn to process all personal, business and societal tasks creatively, independently and successfully, using the analytical competence you have gained. You acquire the important capabilities and knowledge which shape your professional career in management and are capable of handling it efficiently and therefore successfully and responsibly.
