Master in International Tourism Management (ITM)

The Master's programme in International Tourism Management (ITM) at FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences is a four-semester English-taught programme covering tourism, management, and research methodology. It is designed for graduates who want to deepen their knowledge of tourism management and take on leadership roles in the sector or pursue doctoral study. The curriculum integrates topics including entrepreneurship, digitalisation, and sustainability, with practical projects conducted in collaboration with cooperation partners. The programme is closely connected to the German Institute for Tourism Research (DI Tourismusforschung), which is based at the same university and provides access to current research data and industry networks. Participants who need to build prerequisite knowledge may be required to complete an aptitude test before admission. Optional German language courses are available free of charge, but are not part of the standard curriculum. The programme starts in the winter semester and is based at FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences in Heide, Germany.
