Tourism Management and Planning

Overview

The master's programme in Tourism Management and Planning at Universidade de Aveiro  aims to provide a deep and consolidated training which underpins the acquisition of the knowledge and expertise in the fields of planning and management which are necessary and essential to ensure the success and sustainability of any strategy of tourist development. 

This training should support a specialised grounding for students intending to follow a professional career in different public and private institutions in the tourism sector (including the leadership and coordination of advanced studies, and planning and management activities) as well as for those who intend to continue their academic studies.

The curricular organisation of the Tourism Management and Planning programme combines an advanced scientific training in the tourism system with the identified needs of the market, offering areas of specialisation oriented towards different areas of activity, namely: "Tourism and the Environment", "Tourism and Culture" and "Economics and Management".
