Questions and Answers (FAQ)

Here you will find the most frequently asked questions & answers about the Bachelor’s program in Tourism & Hospitality Management.

General information:

No, no previous experience in tourism is required for the study program.

Information and numerous tips on the admissions procedure can be found here !

Recognition is only possible if the acquired knowledge is equivalent to the requirement profile in terms of content and scope of the course to be waived. Therefore, school subjects cannot be credited in principle.

The Bachelor’s program in Tourism & Hospitality Management is basically a full-time program. However, some of our students work on a part-time basis alongside their studies.

During the 6 semesters of the Tourism & Hospitality Management study program, you will have to pay approximately 550 euros in addition to the tuition fees. This includes the costs for the introductory excursion in the 1 st semester or the self-organized excursion in the 2 nd semester. However, we always try to keep the fees as student-friendly as possible.

The study content of the two programs is largely identical. Exceptions are the practical phases in the dual study program (semesters 3-6) and the specializations as well as the compulsory internship in the full-time variant.

Full-time variant:

In the first semester, you will learn about all specializations and make your selection based on this at the end of the semester. The selected specialization can then no longer be changed.

No prior knowledge is required for the specializations.

Here you can find all partner universities with which our university cooperates.

Please note, however, that not every study program cooperates with every partner university. For a semester abroad as part of your Bachelor’s program in Tourism & Hospitality Management, places are mainly available at European partner universities (e.g. in Spain, France, the Netherlands, etc.). However, we are constantly striving to expand our network for you. At the beginning of your studies, our mobility coordinator of the study area will be happy to inform you about your exact options.

You have the possibility to organize your internship yourself. Of course, we will support you in this. The Tourism & Hospitality Management study program includes a mandatory foreign component (either an internship abroad in the 4 th semester or a semester abroad in the 5 th semester). If you choose to complete your compulsory internship in Austria in the 4 th semester, you will spend the 5 th semester at one of our partner universities abroad.

After completing your studies, the entire range of work opportunities in tourism is open to you, regardless of the specialization you have chosen.

Dual variant:

A dual study program is characterized by the regular alternation between theoretical and practical phases. There is an interlocking of learning locations: academic learning location (FHWien der WKW) and practical learning location (practical company).

In the first year of study (1 st and 2 nd semesters), no professional practice takes place yet and is to be understood as the theoretical foundation of the dual study program. From the 2 nd year of study (= 3 rd semester) onwards, you will be employed by a practice partner for 2.5 days each (an average of 20 hours per week) in order to acquire the professional practice relevant to this study program. You will spend the other 2.5 days at FHWien der WKW.

In the 1 st semester, you will receive application training and an introduction to our practical partners. Our partner companies cover the entire spectrum of the tourism industry. Our practical partners include hotel companies, tour operators and travel agencies, congress companies and mobility companies.

In the 2 nd semester, the application phase begins, during which you will contact the desired companies directly. Of course, we will support you with questions regarding your application. Matching with the practical companies then takes place within the 2 nd semester before the practical phases start in the 3 rd semester.

During the first two semesters you will be full-time with us on campus. The practical phases start in the 3 rd semester. We work with the model of a split week, i.e. you spend 2.5 days (20 hours) with your practice partner and 2.5 days at the campus of FHWien der WKW.

A contract of employment is concluded between you and the practice company. The payment and salary classification are the responsibility of the company. We have no influence on this.

The following contractual regulations apply:

• Company and FHWien der WKW: Cooperation agreement
• Practice company and students: Work contract
• Students and FHWien der WKW: Learning agreement

Of course, it is possible to already “bring along” a practice company. There are criteria and requirements that must be met in order to ensure the quality of the training. In this case, please contact the study program directly.

  MARKETING AND SALES CASE STUDIES

Course description:.

Widely accepted in all leading business schools as the ultimate experience-building methodology, case studies constitute the core of the Marketing and Sales course for Master of Science and BS 3rd year students.

Students are expected to have previously become familiar with the key foundations of strategic and operational marketing plans. Contrary to a lecture-based approach, the whole program will be dedicated discussing many real-life situations in the hospitality industry. Students have a unique chance of sitting “in the driver’s seat” to identify, analyze and recommend solutions amongst a large variety of challenging situations in hotel management, restaurants and the tourism industry at large.

Objectives:

The key benefits to the students will be:

• Acute development of analytical skills . In real life, when it comes to making an important decision, we often find that we do not have enough information, or too much, or not enough time. Case studies teach how to rapidly identify the key stakes in any given situation and focus on bringing effective creative solutions.
• Development of an effective working process methodology . Students have to analyze the situations, the alternatives and their recommendations by themselves, first. Then, they share points of views with their respective learning team and eventually expose their views to the whole class, following a suggested, logical, 6 steps process. This methodology has proved immensely beneficial in terms of giving students a framework they can easily replicate in their future professional life, when they will integrate larger working groups or will have to manage them.
• Significant improvement of communication skills . Of course, being able to analyze and recommend on a given situation is great. But convincing others that what we suggest is what should be implemented is a whole new game. Like in “real-life”, the discussion in class is a democratic process where no one can be totally certain to possess the truth, but nevertheless has to fight to try and impose his/her point-of-view. And many people fail by lack of proper mental structure or self-assurance. The case discussions will make students aware of eventual shortfalls in those areas and allow them to significantly improve their level of confidence and communication skills.
• A comprehensive survey of the industry . The case studies chosen explore many facets of the hospitality industry, reviewing actual situations that occurred across the world, amongst individual hotels, groups, restaurants, or the travel industry. These examples constitute a unique chance to be exposed, reflect upon and recommend on such a large sample of diversified experiences and provide a valuable accelerated learning process.

N.B. : The organization of certain management courses may be modified depending on the schedule of certain visiting professors.
