Develop in a cohesive and appropriate way a project on a tourism management topic, under the supervision of one to three supervisors.
The methodologies adopted will privilege the dialogued process, with the aim of contributing to the development of students' autonomy. The tutorial supervision regime, which focuses on a personalized teaching methodology, will be implemented in order to support the development of autonomous research work on a tourism management topic. The supervisors will be responsible for academic and scientific supervision, providing support from the preparation of the work plan to the final analysis of the written work. The student will be supported by one to three advisors who are specialists in the area and the final work must make contributions to the theory and/or practice of tourism management.
