Objective
Students will get acquainted with a selected current issue in tourism.
Content
Current Issues in Tourism is a course module covering several different possibilities to gain ECTS. Courses are either face-to-face courses at the University of Lapland (registration in Peppi) or independent online courses (registration on the course website). Assignments for different courses vary and are informed in course descriptions. Also lectures (or seminar presentations, events e.g.) are held either at the university or online. Assignment for lectures is always the same: pre-reading, attending the lecture and writing a minimum three-page-long essay based on the lecture and relevant scientific literature. Detailed essay instructions are emailed by the responsible teacher in English and in Finnish.
Different possibilities are announced via email during fall and spring.
Some events are not always directly linked to tourism, but closely related, and you can emphasize tourism in your own essay.
If the emailed information is in English, the event will be in English, if the information is in Finnish, it will be in Finnish only. Submissions of assignments can be done in either language.
