MODUL University Vienna
Course Overview
The BBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management at MODUL University Vienna is delivered by one of the world's longest-established tourism schools (MODUL's hospitality heritage dates to 1908), now a private international university teaching fully in English. The three-year business degree combines management fundamentals — marketing, finance, strategy — with tourism and hospitality specialisation, plus an integrated internship. Vienna is repeatedly ranked the world's most liveable city and is a major European destination and congress hub, giving students a rich living laboratory for the sector.
For Sri Lankan students, MODUL offers a globally recognised, English-taught hospitality degree in the heart of Europe at a fee well below UK/US private hotel schools. Austria grants graduates a 12-month residence permit to seek qualified work after study, with an EU Blue Card / Red-White-Red card pathway for skilled graduates. The degree opens doors into international hotel groups, event and congress management, airlines, and tourism boards — and transfers directly into Sri Lanka's hospitality industry.
