The digital Master's program in "Transformation and Sustainable Living Spaces - Reshape Tourism" is a university-based offer characterized by an interplay of disciplinary expertise and interdisciplinary development competence. The focus is on research-oriented transfer with close links to practice.

In the course of study, the university methodological competence is closely linked to the expertise of the tourism departments of the cooperating universities. Students can thus develop transformational skills by analyzing transformations in business and the economy, society, and politics. At the same time, students acquire interdisciplinary skills and competences. The linking of this general and methodological knowledge with the KU's geographical, ethical-philosophical, social-scientific and economic fields is a special feature of the program.

The program is part of a cooperation between the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and the higher education institutions of Deggendorf, Kempten and Munich – all of which have a high level of tourism expertise. 

As a distance learning program, the courses take place digitally. However, blocked portions of selected modules per semester are conducted in an on-campus format.

Structure

The four-semester Master's program has an online format, with blocked parts of selected modules per semester that are conducted in an on-campus format. You will be notified of these dates well in advance at the beginning of each semester.

The practical relevance of the program becomes evident in the practice-oriented teaching and learning formats. In addition to imparting specialist knowledge, it is ensured that students understand and at the same time apply the transfer to practice by involving both national and international experts in the teaching-learning process. The module "Project Work", which is a central element of the study program, illustrates the high value of practical relevance. In this module, you will link, apply and implement professional, methodological, personal and social skills acquired in individual and group work to practical issues. In addition, a professional internshipworth 5 ECTS credits is envisaged in the third semester. It is equivalent to a full-time 4-week internship.

The digital Master's program is unique in its conception and its cooperation across Bavaria. This is what the KU, cooperation partners and sponsors say about the project.
