Dual Degree Program

Dual study–a program with a twofold impact: Combine a solid academic education with valuable professional experience. In the dual-track Bachelor’s program in Hotel Management at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, you’ll combine theory and practice in an ideal way.

This new model addresses key challenges facing the industry: the growing need for qualified specialists and managers who are integrated into businesses early on and systematically developed. At the heart of the dual study program is the regular alternation between the university and a partner company, beginning in the first semester. In the clearly structured 12-week model, theoretical phases at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences are immediately followed by practical phases in a hotel setting. This way, the hotel becomes a second learning environment right from the start–one that is significantly more intensive and engaging than traditional internship models can offer.
