    Getting Started

    Common Questions

    Everything you need to know before registration

    Is this program for Bachelor or Master students?

    ISSTTA is a program for both Bachelor and Master students, as well as PhD students. It is an innovative program, combining theory and practical activities (simulation games, sea survival training, organizing an aviation show), which can definitely be of interest for a wide range of undergraduate and graduate students. Moreover, the participants will have the opportunity to build new connections during the networking events, while discovering the myth of Dracula.

    Should I have a specific background in order to be accepted to this summer school?

    Being a summer school with a specific focus on tourism and aviation, the targeted category of applicants is represented by students with a major in tourism. Nevertheless, we are interested in having also students from other fields of study (marketing, business, management…), in order to have a mixed group, perfectly suitable for interdisciplinary projects.
