International Summer School Aspira University College

Welcome to Aspira International Summer School!

Program

Given our academic strength in this field, the economic importance of Tourism in Croatia, and that Aspira College of Management and Design is affilliate member of UNWTO, we have created this new summer program for 2023.

Target Aim

Apply for the Aspira's Summer School if you are an undergraduate student or graduate in Tourism, Gastronomy, Nutrition, Economics, Management, Business, Sports, Hotel Management or any other related field, and your level of English is at least B2. Aspira College may also be appropriate for students and graduates from other fields, if they are interested in the topics covered in the course.

Course Aim

Introduction

As one of the sectors most affected by the pandemic, Tourism and Gastronomy will likely never be the same once it has fully recovered from it. Some of the effects of the crisis are likely to be no more than an acceleration of trends that already existed in the sector, such as digitization and greater consideration of sustainability issues, but other effects may be entirely new. During this two weeks you will choose between two tracks depending on your preferences.

Tourism and Hospitality Track

·International Hotel Management

·Management of selective forms of Tourism

·Social media advertising in Tourism and Hospitality

·Sommelier Course

·Dalmatian cuisine with practical workshops in kitchen as well as Nutrition Course

Sports Management Track
