Overview
As tourism practices are decidedly interdisciplinary in nature and relate to various forms of tourism, the knowledge and skills that the study programme encompasses are designed so as to provide doctoral students with in-depth knowledge of the profession, which they proceed to build upon through specific tourism content.
The whole is complemented by methodological-research knowledge and skills, by means of which an individual becomes qualified to conduct research independently, bringing new scientific findings and enabling the continuation of scientific work on the one hand and practical application of the knowledge obtained on the other.
Key facts
- Through their ability to critically reflect, the knowledge gained by the doctoral candidates will enable them to further engage in scientific research by publishing scientific monographs and articles or by participating in or managing highly complex research projects.
- This Contemporary Tourism Studies programme from University of Maribor has another important objective, as it encourages students to pursue continuous studies at all levels and rounds off the entire study vertical at the Faculty of Tourism of the University of Maribor.

- Mobilities studies and tourism studies epistemology
