What the master International Leisure, Tourism & Events Management offers 

During this master’s you dive into the past, the present and the future of this dynamic sector. You explore social theories on leisure behaviour, develop innovative and meaningful experiences, and research current issues in society. Using tools such as transition management and risk management, you’ll work on strategies for a sustainable future. 

You'll learn how to form policies and translate them into plans, and develop an astute, critical viewpoint when analysing policy in a range of contexts and at different levels. The focus lies on creativity and you’ll be encouraged to think about today’s bigger challenges, such as better distribution of prosperity, more efficient use of scarce resources in tourism, events and leisure, and changes in mobility. 

And just as importantly, you’ll be given every opportunity to grow professionally and personally. During your studies, you’ll constantly find opportunities to use your expertise and impact this continually evolving branch. 

 

The reasons to study at NHL Stenden 

The things that make a difference in the world often start as ideas from people daring to question what others assume. At NHL Stenden, you work in mixed groups so you can use each other's perspectives to unravel unobvious choices. Through real-life projects you learn by doing and this, combined with your internship, truly gives you a head start on your career. With our international opportunities and study environment, you develop a global network while the extracurricular activities you can pick up mean you develop talents that help you explore beyond your studies. While this is all great for your future, we know you also need to focus on your time as a student. Which is why we aim to make NHL Stenden your home away from home, a community where you’re known by your name, so you can be the person you truly are. For us, that makes you original. And it makes NHL Stenden, home of the originals.
