Social activities are considered an integral part of life for a program like International Master in Tourism & Leisure, which relies on the passion and enthusiasm of its participants.

Forming groups outside the classroom means sharing experiences with international colleagues completing other Masters programs, meeting over the weekend for activities sponsored by the School or between students.

All of these moments, in which the competitive climate of the classroom leaves space for friendship provide the fundamental cross-cultural and multi-ethnic experience that few schools outside of MIB can guarantee. 

The school organizes evenings dedicated to culture (theatre, cinema, conferences), and for fun, food, and music. These activities involve not only International Master in Tourism & Leisure participants but also participants from other programs, teaching staff and graduates from past years.

During the weekends, there are opportunities to visit Trieste, located on the Adriatic coast, and not far from the Alps, Venice and Lubljana.

Sports play an important role at MIB; the School organizes soccer tournaments between different Master’s programmes, chess matches, sailing outings, and ski weekends in the nearby Alps. 

"The Master was not only an educational experience taking place during class hours, company visits, fairs, interviews, and meetings. International Master in Tourism & Leisure was also the time spent with colleagues, going out together, parties... mexican, indian, italian, turkish nights...every time we met there was a different taste. An incredible variety of culture that is mixed together and united for a year leaving us with incredible memories. In the future working in tourism, I will have to travel a lot, but I know that I have friends all over the world."
