As part of its strategy to develop ambitious international partnerships, IAE Savoie Mont Blanc had the pleasure of welcoming Susanne Hilland, Programme Coordinator of the Tourism Futures Studies Master’s at Heilbronn University (Germany).<\/p>\n
This visit, which took place in the context of the 40th anniversary of the cooperation between our two institutions, marks a key milestone in the establishment of a double degree between the Tourism Futures Studies Master\u2019s and our IBTM track (International Business in Tourism and Management).\u201cThis double degree project fits perfectly with our ambition to internationalise our programmes even further. Heilbronn’s master’s is highly complementary to ours, with a strong focus on future-oriented tourism. Together, we are building a unique opportunity for our students, and aim to increase student exchanges as a natural next step of our collaboration.\u201d\u2014 Guilhem Lobre, Director of the IBTM programme<\/p>\n
The Tourism Futures Studies programme stands out for its forward-thinking approach, active pedagogy, and alignment with the global transformations of the tourism industry. Throughout the discussions, many synergies with the IBTM track emerged, especially around sustainability, international strategy, and tourism innovation.\u201cAt IAE, I found an open-minded, forward-thinking team that shares our vision. The collaboration we are building will allow students to benefit from a dual academic and professional culture \u2013 a real asset in an ever-evolving sector.\u201d\u2014 Susanne Hilland, Programme Coordinator, Tourism Futures Studies (M.Sc.), Heilbronn University<\/p>\n
From an administrative standpoint, the double degree project is progressing steadily thanks to close cooperation between the international offices of both institutions.\u201cThis initiative is fully aligned with our strategy to enhance IAE’s international scope. The dialogue with Heilbronn is smooth and constructive, and we are confident we\u2019ll be able to increase student exchanges in the near future.\u201d\u2014 C\u00e9lia Merias, Head of International Relations, IAE Savoie Mont Blanc<\/p>\n
