As tourism continues to evolve into a dynamic, experience-driven industry, the need for highly skilled professionals has never been greater.

Malta, with its thriving tourism sector and rising demand for heritage and hospitality expertise, represents an ideal environment for academic and professional growth, and the Institute of Tourism Studies stands at a forefront of this transformation.

ITS has consistently lived up to its reputation as Malta’s foremost academic institution in tourism and hospitality, committed to developing the next generation of industry leaders.

The institute’s postgraduate possibilities are today recognised internationally through highly sought-after courses including the Master of Arts in Heritage Interpretation and the MBA in International Hospitality Management.

These postgraduate programmes are tailor-made for those looking to deepen their understanding of cultural heritage and in turn translate the knowledge into meaningful and engaging experiences. It also aims to equip individuals with leadership skills in the global hospitality industry.

The Institute of Tourism Studies is driven by the understanding that a master’s degree should be more than just another certificate. That is why these courses are developed in collaboration with industry leaders, to meet international standards and offer industry access.

ITS master's programmes are delivered online for convenience and flexibility, allowing students to balance their studies with professional and personal commitments.
