What do I need to access the Master?

The Master's degree can be accessed from any degree linked to the branches of knowledge of the social sciences and humanities, especially those focused on the field of the tourism sector.

The Master has an offer of subjects designed exclusively to adapt to the specific needs of potential students as training complements.

Candidates who do not come from the degrees mentioned above will have to complete additional training, taking a specific subject of “Fundamentals of tourism activity” (6 ECTS), in order to recognize the dynamics of tourism in today's society, its development and trends, and distinguish the main operations and actors in tourism activities: destinations, intermediation, transportation and accommodation.

The procedure for admission to the degree can be consulted in the corresponding Information on access to studies section.
