Campmaster

The demand for open air accommodation is growing rapidly in Europe and requires highly qualified professionals able to manage the business well in cooperation with local authorities. That is why BUas, the University of Girona in Spain and the University of Rijeka in Croatia have developed the new multiple master’s programme with a focus on strategic management of large-scale campsites. Preparing future outdoor accommodation professionals to face the many challenges imposed by environmental sustainability is the goal of the ‘Master’s Degree in Sustainable Management of Outdoor Hospitality’ (Campmaster), a postgraduate programme launched in 2020 also with the support of the European Union.

The first Master’s programme in Europe dedicated to sustainable outdoor hospitality and camp management has a multi-level professional programme where students can combine theory and practice at universities in the Netherlands, Croatia and Spain.

Master in Sustainable Management of Outdoor Hospitality

In the first year of this Master in Sustainable Outdoor Hospitality Management, taught in English, students will attend classes at the University of Applied Sciences in Breda (in close cooperation with the Master in Tourism Destination Management).

Furthermore, in the second semester students will study at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management in Opatija, Croatia. They will work in camps in Croatia on sustainable business challenges in the areas of park design, stakeholder engagement, human resources management, concept design or strategic management.

In the second year they will move to the University of Girona (Spain) to deepen their academic and business management skills. The final fourth semester will combine work as a trainee with a field research project and a thesis in a key outdoor hospitality region in Europe of your choice.
