Master in Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Management

1. English language requirement

The programme requires English at Danish level A.

The English requirements are very strict, which means that only the qualifications listed on the English level A page are accepted as alternative fulfilment.

The English language requirement must be fulfilled by the application deadline.

2. ACADEMIC ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Your educational background will be subject to an overall individual assessment in order to establish if your bachelor's degree qualifies you for the programme and the academic areas listed below are covered in full and as prescribed:

• 5 ECTS-points in Quantitative methods/Statistics
• 25 ECTS-points in Business Administration (Marketing and/or Organisation and/or Management and/or Strategy and/or Innovation/entrepreneurship and/or Accounting and/or Finance and/or Economics)

3. GENERAL ENTRY REQUIREMENT

To be eligible for admission to a 1-year Master, you must have completed an academic bachelor degree before the programme's study start. Applicants with professional qualifications (for example a professional bachelor degree/PBA) will not be admitted.

How to find out if you fulfil the academic requirements

CBS Admissions cannot pre-assess your qualifications ahead of the application round.

We have already assessed a number of bachelor degrees, you will find them all in the list of advance assessments.

To find out if you qualify, you can do the following:

1. Check the advance assessments: see below if we have already published an advance assessment for your bachelor degree.
2. Self-assessment: if your bachelor degree is not listed in the advance assessments below, you can make your own self-assessment using the self-assessment form further down.

Advance Assessments

The following advance assessments are only valid for:

• the 2024 admission round
• applicants whose bachelor degree exactly matches the university, degree title and enrolment year listed

What is included in the advance assessment?
The advance assessments are based on the obligatory courses as listed in the programme regulations.

If you have obligatory courses that have been credit transferred from elsewhere, we will not use the advance assessment and will instead assess your courses using the available documentation.

If you have electives, we will assess these in addition to the obligatory courses.

Categories
The advance assessments are grouped into 3 different categories:

• Qualifying bachelor degrees: Your obligatory courses fulfil the academic requirements.
• Potentially qualifying bachelor degrees: Your obligatory courses do not fully cover the academic requirements. You will therefore need to either choose relevant electives or take supplementary qualifying courses to fulfil the requirements.
  Read more about how to qualify on Are you qualified?
• Non-qualifying bachelor degrees: Your obligatory courses do not fulfil the academic entry requirements and it is unlikely that elective courses and/or taking supplementary qualifying courses will help you to fulfil the requirements in full.

Your bachelor degree may be listed in different categories for different enrolment years.

Please note: Fulfilment of the entry requirements does not guarantee admission.

SELECTION CRITERIA

The programme has a limited number of places. 

Only applicants fulfilling the specific entry requirements are considered qualified and will be considered in the selection process. If there are more qualified applicants than places available, selection criteria will be applied. 

To determine which of the remaining qualified applicants receive an offer of admission, an overall assessment of their academic background at undergraduate level will take place. 

The following factors are of importance:

• Relevance of educational background at undergraduate level, including general grade level
• Courses and grades within Quantitative methods/Statistics and Subject-specific academic areas (Tourism, Hospitality, Service-, Sport-, Leisure- or Arts and Culture Management)
• Personal statement
• Connection to the Danish labour market
