I returned to school for this master after ten years of professional experience and with the precise goal of working in the field of IT for the tourism & travel industry. I think that this MSc programme has delivered a complete experience to students, enabling us to strongly enhance our skills and preparing us for our future careers in the exciting and vibrant business of international tourism. The teachers brought with them a wealth of experience in their field of expertise, so the academic content was excellent and has helped all of us to get a strong hold of the theoretical aspect of this business. Practicality was however the main goal of the programme and a large number of guest speakers have shared with us real experiences and challenges, while many of our projects have also been based on real situations that called for concrete solutions on our side. Team work was emphasised during these projects and gave many students first-hand experience in dealing with complex team projects, managing people, assigning tasks and respecting deadlines. The school also enabled us to get in contact with numerous partner companies and gave many students the opportunity for internships in these organisations. This MSc has helped me achieve my objective: I will soon start an internship in Amadeus, a leading software company and I am sure the skills acquired during this year will help me reach my long-term career goals.
