The TourCIM programme has been created to respond to the needs of rapidly expanding cultural and tourism industries. The Master’s degree programme in Tourism, Culture and International Management (TourCIM) has been created to meet the demand for professionals with the ability to develop responsible tourism strategies and policies. The two-year Master’s degree programme gives you the opportunity to advance your knowledge and understanding of contemporary tourism and responsible business practices and strategies. To that end, the TourCIM programme offers an exceptional combination of current issues in management, tourism and cultural studies. Often Master’s degree programmes in tourism and hospitality focus on management and marketing. However, the TourCIM programme is based on the belief that the socio-cultural dimension is essential in fully understanding and implementing responsible tourism. Our teaching and research reflect this belief and consider the socio-cultural dimension as fundamental in gaining a more comprehensive view of tourism as a social and economic phenomenon. The TourCIM programme is run by one of the leading tourism research and education centres in the Nordic countries: the Multidimensional Tourism Institute (MTI).
