Bachelor of Arts (Honours) (Tourism Studies) at University of Malta

The main objectives of the Tourism Studies programme are to provide a comprehensive background to the local and international dimensions of the tourism industry and to equip students with skills to critically analyse the tourism industry and its impacts on society, the environment and the economy. It is an inter-disciplinary programme, covering a wide range of subjects.

Students will also be expected to carry out two supervised industry placements, where they will gain valuable work-place insights and skills. In Year II, students are encouraged to apply for student exchange programmes for one or two semesters at one of the universities which have links with the Institute for Tourism, Travel and Culture.

The Institute for Tourism, Travel and Culture works closely with local tourism stakeholders, such as government entities and ministries, hotels, restaurants, heritage agencies, and is an active member of several European and international networks. These links ensure that programmes of study offered by the Institute are relevant and useful for anyone who wishes to develop an interest or career in the tourism sector.
