The specialization in Tourism Management is offered in co-operation with the MODUL University Vienna.
Since September 2007 MODUL University Vienna, an international private university owned by the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has been offering a selection of both Bachelor and Master study programs. Since October 2009, 235 students from 53 countries have been studying on Vienna’s Kahlenberg in the areas of Tourism, Public Management and New Media Technology. In the final development phase of this international educational institution more than 540 students will be studying on Kahlenberg, overlooking the city of Vienna. All study programs guarantee the highest level of quality and fulfill the strict accreditation requirements laid out by the Austrian Accreditation Council. Because of the university’s international orientation, all study programs are conducted entirely in English. The support ratio currently stands at 1:5 (one MODUL faculty or staff member for every five students). Within the next five years, the owners aim to develop MODUL University Vienna into Austria’s leading private university, internationally acclaimed in its areas of study. MU is jointly owned, with 90 percent belonging to the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and 10 percent to the tourism investor Sheik Mohammed bin Issa al Jaber, who backs the university’s ambitious development plans.
