BBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management

”
I discovered Modul through a close friend, and its program aligned with my passion for event planning. Although leaving Hong Kong and coming to Europe was challenging, as it meant being away from my family for the first time and experiencing a new continent, I have received a huge amount of support from my loved ones and the university staff. Their encouragement has fueled my motivation to excel academically. I really like Modul's student events, organized trips, approachable lecturers and staff, the study areas, and the view of Vienna. I am immensely grateful to everyone who has supported me on this transformative journey, as their constant support has significantly enhanced my experience at Modul University.
