The Faculty of Tourism Studies Turistica would like to inform you that the study programme "Tourism Enterprise Management" (TEM) has been redesigned and will start in the 1st year of study in the academic year 2025/2026. The redesign of the programme is based on a thorough analysis of stakeholders' needs and trends in tourism, and it includes current topics such as sustainable tourism, digitalization and interdisciplinary practices.
The renewed study programme, which is one of the main programmes of the UP FTŠ Turistica, is designed to offer students broad and in-depth knowledge mainly, but not exclusively, in business, while at the same time enabling the acquisition of specific skills necessary for a career path in tourism. The structure of the programme is designed in a progressive manner, starting with core subjects in the first year and moving on to more specific subjects in the upper years. In addition, the study programme includes field exercises and professional practice, where students gain contact with the real environment and build on their knowledge and skills. Electives give students the opportunity to further specialise in areas of interest.
The renewal of the programme highlights the following key points:
- Practical orientation with a stronger emphasis on fieldwork and cooperation with industry,
- Compliance with international guidelines (UNWTO, European Commission),
- Updating competences to meet the needs of the modern tourism market.
The renewed programme will strengthen the competitiveness and reputation of the Faculty in the academic and professional environment.
HOW TO RECOGNISE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PREVIOUS PROGRAMME
Due to the differences in the curriculum between the previous and the renewed study programme, please note that:
- Students with regular progression (without repetition, additional year or extension of status) have the legal right to complete their studies according to the conditions in force at the time of enrolment in the programme (Art.66 ZVIS);
- Students who do not pass the requirements for promotion to a higher year will repeat the year according to the renewed programme (in the academic year 2025/2026, students repeating the first year);
- Students who have interrupted their studies continue with the renewed programme (in the academic year 2025/2026, students who have suspended the first year).
Students who will not be regularly promoted to a higher year may be credited with the requirements corresponding to the learning outcomes of the renewed programme. Continuation or completion of studies may be possible under the renewed programme, provided that additional requirements are set to the extent and content necessary to ensure the achievement of the required learning outcomes. These conditions shall be in accordance with the study conditions of the renewed programme.
Individuals whose student status has been terminated after the completion of the final year of studies and who have not withdrawn have the right to continue to sit examinations and other study requirements in the programme in which they were enroled for a period of two years after their last enrolment. After this period, they may continue to fulfil the obligations, but in the event of major changes to the programme, new study obligations will be imposed (Statutes of the University of Primorska - UPB2).
RECOGNITION OF COMMITMENTS ON THE RENEWED PROGRAMME (TEM25)
- Requests for recognition of obligations in the case of repetition or for the determination of conditions for continuation of studies in the case of suspension of the first year will be considered by the 1st Degree Study Affairs Committee of UP FTŠ Turistice in September 2025 on the basis of a comparative table which will be available in April 2025.
- Students will be charged for the processing and issuing of the decision in accordance with the price list of the University of Primorska.
Students who have passed most of their examinations or who are only missing a final thesis or a final course are advised to complete their studies as soon as possible in order to avoid any additional obligations that may be imposed on them by the First Degree Board.
