The Tourism and Leisure Management bachelor degree programme focuses on preparing students for a career in the tourism industry. It combines theoretical knowledge in business administration with practical experience through internships. Delivered in collaboration between IMC Krems and Hanoi University, the program emphasizes sustainable tourism and global market trends. Graduates are equipped to create innovative solutions and lead in a rapidly evolving industry.
The curriculum covers areas such as business administration, marketing, event management, and sustainability within the tourism sector. It includes hands-on training through internships and projects.
The program spans six semesters with a mix of classroom instruction, practical training, and a final thesis project, culminating in an exam.
Graduates gain competencies in strategic thinking, cross-cultural communication, digital literacy, and practical skills necessary for management roles in tourism.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
