Methodology and assessment
Methodology
This Master’s is a blended course that uses a holistic and proactive learning methodology and it is organized by modules.
On the one hand it integrates theoretic and practical learning strategies and methodologies which enrich both students’ personal and professional growth. The course program encourages a more personalized involvement on the student’s part whilst catering for different expectations and learning needs.
On the other hand, students are at the core of the course’s learning environment, which favors learning from an analytical, reflexive and autonomous way whilst being supported and guided by tutors, instructors and international experts of the sector.
The online subjects are cross-curricular for any of the available specializations and aim at improving tools for innovation and tourism management. The specialization subjects will be delivered in traditional settings (face-to-face) so students can make the most of meeting leading experts, participate in workshops and guided visits to relevant organizations and companies.
Online learning
The course relies on the flipped classroom approach, so students can:
SELF-STUDY
Work autonomously using learning resources and learning microcapsules available on the virtual classroom so they can access recommended reading and assignments set by instructors and experts.
MASTERCLASS
Each subject contains synchronous/real time sessions to work on different areas in a practical and participative way.
Get in touch with experts from the sector by taking part in expert led talks. Leading international professionals such as managers and executives with proven experience will share their expertise with course participants and will encourage debate and networking.
NETWORKING
Profesionales internacionales como los directores y gestores de hotelería y de restauración, avalados por sus trayectorias profesionales, comparten sus experiencias y te invitan a crear debate y fomentar el networking.
Face-to-face learning
When the online sessions are over, students will take part in face-to-face sessions for four weeks in June to study in depth the specialization subjects. The sessions will be:
Instructor led seminars: instructor led daily lectures with both national and international instructors.
Guided visits: during this 4 week stay, there will be guided visits to
relevant businesses and also leisure outings that will enable students to build a sound professional network; they will also obtain a first-hand insight into good practices in the real business world.
