PhD in Tourism

3 Years On Campus Phd Program

Autonomous University of Barcelona

Program Overview

The PhD programme in Tourism provides an opportunity to conduct cutting-edge academic research into the tourism sector, which is in constant expansion and is now of major importance. This PhD programme sets out to improve knowledge transfer from the academic world to society, through the public and private agents operating within this sector. Public institutions (at local, regional, and autonomous-community levels) depend on such knowledge for social, sustainable strategic planning. Private institutions, for their part, seek new knowledge in the areas of product innovation and efficient management tools, optimal use of available resources, and close ties to the territory from a social and environmental perspective.
