If you want to apply for this programme, you should have a bachelor’s degree, preferably a Bachelor of Business Administration, for example in the field of tourism management, leisure management, hotel management, economics, commerce, general management or finance.

- academic skills at bachelor’s level (e.g. methods and researching techniques)
Additional criteria
Applicants who do not have a BBA degree, but who hold a bachelor’s degree in another field of study (e.g. arts, law, cultural studies, social sciences) may also be considered for admission. However, additional criteria will be applied in selecting these students:
- knowledge (bachelor’s level) of financial management
- knowledge (bachelor’s level) of marketing
- knowledge (bachelor’s level) of tourism planning and development
- knowledge (bachelor’s level) of cross cultural studies

They should produce a statement from the institute they attended proving that they completed their studies in English. This statement can be provided by the principal or by someone at the student administration office. It should be printed on official stationary of the institute.
Applicants who do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements, may request a self-study package to eliminate their deficiencies.
