You will also need a laptop. Furthermore, there may be additional costs for excursions, company visits and field trips.

Costs (estimated) for the Master Tourism Destination Management:

  • Introduction week: €100
  • Books: €0
  • Field research: €2,000 (excluding accommodation, cost of living, visas and vaccinations). These costs depend heavily on the destination and your own preferences. €2,000 is a rough estimate.
