This bachelor’s programme in Hospitality, Innovation and e-Tourism (entirely taught in English) equips you with the skill set you need for hotel management, revenue and channel management, organisation and staff management, the digital promotion and communication sector, and product/service management. It helps you familiarising you with the phenomena of digital transformation and sustainability in relation to the tourism sector. The study plan is calibrated to ensure that you acquire a nuanced understanding of the complex phenomenon of tourism from a variety of complementary perspectives by exploring it through social, economic, cultural, anthropological and environmental lenses.
What makes this degree particularly special is that it is offered through the Scuola Italiana di Ospitalità (Italian School of Hospitality), which partners Ca’ Foscari with the Italian hospitality company TH Resorts. This university–private sector partnership is designed to expose you to real-world contexts and dynamics throughout your degree in order to provide an invaluable springboard for the launch of your managerial career: almost a third of your university credits are earned through professional internships in hospitality-related contexts and businesses, so during your studies you already get tangible work experience and begin to create a professional network.
While graduates of the degree are able to proceed with their university studies at the master’s level, the programme is designed for students who want to jump into the working world at the middle management level immediately after having concluded their undergraduate studies.
You will also be pleased to know that the QS World University Rankings by Subject ranks Ca' Foscari in the top 100 universities for Hospitality and Leisure Management.
