This is often the case when students have not studied a bachelor in the domain of economic’s management or hospitality and tourism or who have followed the bachelor program that does not conclude with a research paper or a dissertation.

These students will be advised to take a pre-master program before starting the full bachelor program.

All students who prepare their research skills before starting their masters are welcome to follow this 6-month pre-master program.

The program looks at strategic management and economics and has a strong component of research methodology. The premaster lasts for six months which is made up of three blocks. Students who successfully complete the program can stream directly into their chosen master's program.
