Bachelor Professional

Overview of all Bachelor Programs

UPGRADE YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS

The Bachelor Professional (BPr) is designed for individuals with several years of relevant professional experience in the hotel and tourism industry who want to deepen their knowledge and advance  their career path. A joint program delivered by both the Austrian Hotel Association (ÖHV - Österreichische Hoteliervereinigung) and Modul University Vienna, students benefit from the leading expertise of both institutions. In contrast to other bachelor programs, the BPr, is a ‘continuing education’ program that requires previous industry experience rather than a high school diploma as an entry requirement.

BENEFIT FROM THE LEADING EXPERTISE OF TWO INSTIUTIONS

This BPr provides a science-based education with a strong focus on practical application. The program duration is flexible, with students being able to choose a fast track and complete studies in just three years, or a longer study duration in order to fit around your career. As such, this program is specifically designed to equip tourism and hospitality professionals with an academic insight into the complex and ever-evolving industry of hotel management and/or tourism; leading to a qualification that ensures career development.
