Descriptions

Matkailualan koulutuksessa opiskelija suorittaa matkailu- ja ravitsemisalan ammattikorkeakoulututkinnon. Tutkintonimikkeenä on restonomi (AMK). Opintojen laajuus on 210 opintopistettä ja koulutuksen kesto 3,5 vuotta. Koulutus muodostuu perusopinnoista, ammattiopinnoista, vaihtoehtoisista ammattiopinnoista, vapaasti valittavista opinnoista, harjoittelusta ja opinnäytetyöstä. Matkailun koulutus on osa Business-osaamisaluetta, johon kuuluvat matkailun lisäksi liiketalouden koulutukset sekä suomeksi että englanniksi. Osa opinnoista suoritetaan yhdessä englanninkielisen tutkinnon kanssa.

Matkailun- ja ravitsemispalvelut ovat elinvoimainen toimiala, joka avaa oven monipuoliseen maailmaan täynnä mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita. Koulutuksen tavoitteena on, että opiskelijasta kehittyy monialaiseen yhteistyöhön kykenevä matkailualan osaaja. Koulutuksen aikana saat kattavan käsityksen matkailualasta.

Perusopinnoissa tutustut monipuolisiin toimintaympäristöihin ja opit ymmärtämään matkailun liiketoiminnan eri osa-alueita, kuten majoitus-, kokous-, kuljetus-, ruoka-, tapahtuma- ja elämyspalveluista. Opit arvostamaan vieraanvaraisuuden ja palveluosaamisen merkitystä.

Ammattiopinnoissa perehdyt matkailualan liiketoimintaosaamiseen: myynti- ja varausprosessit, matkailun monikanavainen markkinointi. Opintojen aikana saat matkailualan kehittämisen työkalupakin, joka sisältää muun muassa palvelumuotoilun ja laatutyön perusteet sekä valmiudet toteuttaa työelämälähtöisiä kehittämistehtäviä. Lisäksi syvennät osaamistasi matkailualan johtamisesta ja työhyvinvoinnista yrityksen voimavarana.

Vaihtoehtoisissa ammattiopinnoissa voit valita englanninkieliset opintokokonaisuudet "Hospitality Management" ja "Wellbeing from the Arctic Nature". Opintokokonaisuuksien opetuskieli on englanti, mutta tehtävät ja tentit voit palauttaa suomen kielellä.
Lisäksi valittavana on "Vuosi yrittäjänä korkeakoulu" ja "Yrittäjyys käytännössä" kokonaisuus ja voit myös suorittaa "International Studies Abroad" opintoja kansainvälisten vaihto-ohjelmien kautta kumppanuuskorkeakouluissamme.
