Testimonials
Having worked in the tourism industry, I was looking for a masterās program that would supplement my existing experience. I chose HHN because it offers a degree in International Tourism Management that is delivered entirely in English. The MITM program structure is very well rounded and even general business courses can be tailored for tourism studies. The courses are integrated with the MIBIM and NTE programs, allowing us to share perspectives and ideas with students with different study foci. One of the best parts of the MITM program is the International Project because we get to practically apply the skills that we learned throughout the year in a relevant context.
