N INTEGRATIVE ROLE OF THE TOURISM STUDIES AT THE FACULTY OF THEOLOGY OF THE OPOLE UNIVERSITY

Abstract

In 2012 at the Faculty of Theology of the Opole University a new field of study was initiated, namely Tourism and the Mediterranean Culture. Its structure is constituted by a firstcycle programme (bachelor’s degree) and a second-cycle programme (master’s degree). The graduates of the studies are prepared to work in generally understood tourism as well as in cultural institutions, being focused on tourist and cultural contacts at the same time. The selection of subjects provides a solid basis for cosmopolitan thinking and independent problem solving in the area of tourist and cultural activities in the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East.
