In order to properly respond to market needs, an International master requires a varied but balanced core of professionals to ensure its success.

MIB School of Management is one of the few business schools in Italy to have a qualified, permanent faculty -highly specialized instructors- who is dedicated and knowledgeable of the tourism sector. Alongside our internal faculty, there are a number of international visiting faculty in the International Master in Tourism & Leisure classroom, all experts in tourism. The resulting blend of academics, managers, entrepreneurs, consultants and business school trainers guarantees excellence and a wide range of perspectives.

The rigorous selection criteria are based not only on expertise in a chosen subject but also on personal experience, professional background and on ability to communicate and interact in a high-level, international classroom.
