Tourism and Hotel Management

Why study?

  • Fastest growing sector in Croatia

    The service industry is the fastest growing sector in Croatia. Zadar has been voted the Best European Destination in 2016! Zagreb features the best Advent fair in Europe! Rijeka has been named the European Capital of Culture 2020! Make your place of residence the next top destination! Study tourism and discover how!

  • Enjoy travelling?

    Statistics show that only few people enjoy their line of work. Tourism is not only a job, it’s a passion leading you to new destinations and bringing new people to your destination. Working in tourism is a journey of always uncovering new landscapes.

  • It’s a good job

    You will meet new people, discover new destinations, acquire new customs, achieve plans that have so far just been a projection on your computer – and all this in a sector with a continuous growth trend. If that isn’t a good job… (we don’t know what is).

About

Undergraduate professional study programme of Tourism and Hospitality Management is a modern and attractive programme aimed at all those who recognise the tourism and hospitality industry as a growing and prominent aspect of the Croatian economy. One of the key advantages of the programme is the orientation towards practical learning activities delivered by teachers, renowned Croatian professionals and economists. Our professors teach courses which are within their own domain of professional expertise and practice, at which they have achieved considerable results. Theoretical modules are taught by highly skilled lecturers, most of which are tenured full professors at the University.

In order to ensure the highest quality of the undergraduate professional study programme of Tourism and Hospitality Management, the programme has been amended.

The changes in the programme relate to:

  • implementation of new courses
  • implementation of professional practicum 1 and 2
  • implementation of 3 modules (specialisation fields) as choices for the third year of study (Tourism, Hotel Management and Restaurant Management and Gastronomy).

The new programme was established on the grounds of the IPA project “The acquisition of the Croatian Qualifications Framework (CQF) principles in the higher education system in the tourism sector”, which has set, among others, the standards of qualifications of professional bachelors in the higher education in tourism and developed and standardised occupations in tourism. This has resulted in the implementation of 3 modules (specialisation fields) that can be selected for the third year of study: Tourism, Hotel Management and Restaurant Management and Gastronomy. By selecting one of these modules a student can direct their education to a specialised field of interest and gain in-depth knowledge and specialised competencies within the selected field.

The new programme also offers more practicum which now awards 6 ECTS credits (until now 1) and is conducted at the second and third year of study. Second year practicum is standard in nature, while third year practicum is specialised and dependent on the specific module selected by the student. This enables students to specialise not only on a theoretical but also on the practical level and to be prepared to work within the selected field. Thus far, practicum has been conducted in various tourism institutions that collaborate successfully with Libertas University, travel agencies, hotels, etc. With the new programme, students will have the opportunity for practicum in the new hotel Le Premier, owned by Libertas. This enables them to pass through all the phases of hotel business, from marketing to management, and get familiarised with working in hospitality.

Lectures are conceptualised in the way to enhance autonomous learning and creativity in students. Student workload includes independent and collaborative activities, research studies and presentation of results, both in written and oral form. Students are encouraged to assume an active role in their own education and develop skills and competencies during the course of study, which are essential for contemporary aspects of business in the European and global tourism market.
