    • International Tourism and Leisure - Start September

      FIRST READ HERE HOW TO FILL IN YOUR ISP (Tips & tricks)
      Not for starters (starter = first time enrolled in Phase 1)

      - Each student submits their individual study programme (ISP) no later than the second Wednesday of the academic year.
      - A student who registers after the start of the academic year has one week to submit an individual year programme.
      - Students who start the programme as of AY24-25 are required to register for 60 study points (ECTS) in their first year of studies (phase 1).
      - If the student graduates with more than 180 study points, because of changes in the curriculum, this is acceptable. The student will NOT get exempted from compulsory courses.
      - For some specific Tourism & Leisure courses, extra costs may apply and will be invoiced to the student. These costs may relate to extra-curricular activities, visits to industry partners outside of campus, or short mobilities abroad. (Examples of such costs may be, but are not limited to travel costs, transportation costs, use of online simulation tools,…)


      LANGUAGES:
      - In case the student has not submit 2 foreign languages by the predetermined deadline as mentioned in the OER ( Art 17: the study programme counsellor will decide and register the set languages below. (Unless this goes against the set rules for foreign languages, in that case the programme itself will determine another language).

      o  Belgian student's foreign languages: Spanish and French
      o  International student's foreign languages = Dutch 1 + Français Débutant

      - Please note that for French there are two levels to start from. For Français débutant there is no preliminary knowledge necessary and cannot be selected by students who finished secondary school in Flanders. For Français Touristic 1 preliminary knowledge is required, (level B1: Only to be booked by students who finished secondary school in Flanders). Français Touristic courses are only to be booked by students with a diploma from a Flanders secondary school, and who achieved B1 level.
      - It is the student’s responsibility to acquire the necessary language levels (3 modules =18 ECTS) over the course of the 3-year programme.  


      STUDY EXCHANGE:
      - Students decide in their first year (by 10/2 for Declaration of Intent and 25/4 for MoveOn application) whether to go on a study exchange in their second year (4th semester). Note: Prerequisites, including phase 1 study points, apply for studying abroad.  
      - As Study Exchange is optional in the 2nd semester of the 2nd year, students choosing not to participate in study exchange will be offered a compelling set of mandatory courses at Thomas More during Phase 2 SEM 2, the study exchange semester.  


      ELECTIVES:
      - Students will add 3 stp. elective courses to their ISP in the 3rd phase. The model trajectory suggests that electives are booked until you have at least 30 study points per semester. First all mandatory courses must be booked in the ISP.
      - Some elective courses will accept a maximum number of students and for some courses extra costs may apply to the expense of the student.

        ·  A student who registers after the start of the academic year has one week to submit an individual year programme.
        ·  Students who start the programme as of AY24-25 are required to register for 60 study points (ECTS) in their first year of studies (phase 1).
        ·  If the student graduates with more than 180 study points, because of changes in the curriculum, this is acceptable. The student will NOT get exempted from compulsory courses.
        -  For some specific Tourism & Leisure courses, extra costs may apply and will be invoiced to the student. These costs may relate to extra-curricular activities, visits to industry partners outside of campus, or short mobilities abroad. (Examples of such costs may be, but are not limited to travel costs, transportation costs, use of online simulation tools,…)


        LANGUAGES:
        ·  In case the student has not submit 2 foreign languages by the predetermined deadline as mentioned in the OER ( Art 17: the study programme counsellor will decide and register the set languages below. (Unless this goes against the set rules for foreign languages, in that case the programme itself will determine another language.)
        o  Belgian student's foreign languages: Spanish and French
        o  International student's foreign languages = Dutch 1 + Français Débutant
        ·  Please note that for French there are two levels to start from. For Français débutant there is no preliminary knowledge necessary and cannot be selected by students who finished secondary school in Flanders. For Français Touristic 1 preliminary knowledge is required, (level B1: Only to be booked by students who finished secondary school in Flanders). Français Touristic courses are only to be booked by students with a diploma from a Flanders secondary school, and who achieved B1 level.
        ·  It is the student’s responsibility to acquire the necessary language levels (3 modules =18 ECTS) over the course of the 3-year programme.  

        STUDY EXCHANGE:
        ·  Students decide in their first year (by 10/2 for Declaration of Intent and 25/4 for MoveOn application) whether to go on a study exchange in their second year (3th study semester). Note: Prerequisites, including phase 1 study points, apply for studying abroad.
        ·  As Study Exchange is optional in the 2nd semester of phase 2, students choosing not to participate in study exchange will be offered a compelling set of mandatory courses at Thomas More during Phase 2 SEM 2, the study exchange semester.


        ELECTIVES:
        ·  Students will add 3 stp. elective courses to their ISP in the 3rd phase. The model trajectory suggests that electives are booked until you have at least 30 study points per semester. First all mandatory courses must be booked in the ISP.
        ·  Some elective courses will accept a maximum number of students and for some courses extra costs may apply to the expense of the student.

        • Phase 3 courses - FINAL STUDY SEMESTER (Sept - Dec)

          FINAL STUDY SEMESTER FEB STARTERS: CONSULT YOUR STUDY PATH COORDINATOR TO CREATE YOUR ISP.

          During your 6th semester of your studies, you may normally register for your Bachelor Project.
          PLEASE NOTE: If you did not pass International Tourism Project YE0339 and/or Immersive Tourist Experiences Lab YE0415 with possible other phase 2 courses, your ISP needs to be discussed with the study path coordinator, Mrs. Buysschaert. In that case we might need to forward your Bachelor Project to the following academic year, including with the course E-Marketing in Tourism.

          VIP: Erratum: students register for OPO YE0467 instead of YE0445. 

        • Language Choices

          - In case the student has not submit 2 foreign languages by the predetermined deadline as mentioned in the OER ( Art 17: the study programme counsellor will decide and register the set languages below. (Unless this goes against the set rules for foreign languages, in that case the programme itself will determine another language).
          o Belgian Dutch speaking student's foreign languages: Espanol and Français (Touristique)
          o Belgian French speaking student’s foreign languages: Espanol + Nederlands
          o International student's foreign languages = Nederlands 1 + Français Débutant

          - Please note that for French there are two levels to start from. For Français débutant there is no preliminary knowledge necessary and cannot be selected by students who finished secondary school in Flanders. For Français Touristic 1 preliminary knowledge is required, (level B1: Only to be booked by students who finished secondary school in Flanders).
          Therefore, Français Touristic courses are only to be booked by students with a diploma from a Flanders secondary school, and who achieved B1 level.
          - It is the student’s responsibility to acquire the necessary language levels (3 modules =18 ECTS) over the course of the 3-year programme.
