Program Structure
This Master’s brings luxury to life. It teaches future managers in luxury businesses the unique skills of a hospitality expert.
Your two-semester academic program covers a diverse range of luxury sectors, including hotels and resorts, fine food and wine, ultra-luxury travel, plus fashion and design.
You don’t just look from the outside inwards: your course content delves deeply into economic and sociological trends, digital transformation, as well as the marketing and business strategies that make a luxury brand successful in the 21st century.
To complete your academic program, you can choose between a Business Research Project or a professional internship, providing you with vital, real-world experience.
Professional internships
Your academic studies can be supplemented by a professional internship, giving you the opportunity to put what you’ve learned in class to the test.
You will not only gain six months of work experience to add to your CV but also strong professional skills, valuable industry connections, and a sharper awareness of the quality and service standards that are essential to the luxury industry.
You will build contacts, references, and employment history to enhance your status as a Master’s graduate.
Business Field Trip
The business field trip is a genuine highlight of your Master’s studies.
You will be encouraged to fully appreciate luxury products as your experience and apply classroom theory in the real world.
