Course Overview
The BA (Hons) in Business Tourism gives students a three-year academic route focused on tourism and business management. The programme carries 180 ECTS credits and is taught in English. Students develop knowledge for work in tourism, hospitality, travel and related business areas.
The course is based at C3S Business School's Barcelona campus and includes practical learning through lectures, seminars, workshops and field activities.
