Leisure Industry and Health Promotion National Ilan University

Overview

Overview

Our curriculum of Leisure Industry and Health Promotion at National Ilan University is based on expertise built on business management. Our major goal is to focus on the leisure industry as a business, with knowledge of health as a necessary basis from which to proceed towards professionalism.

We effectively foster students’ practical expertise, guiding them to participate and respond to the changing demands of the leisure industry marketplace.

Our required courses include Fundamentals of Management, Introduction to the Leisure Industry, Introduction to Health Promotion. We also offer electives in topics as varied as Tourism Design, and Management in fields such as transportation, hospitality, tourism, and health industries.  These courses offer a dynamic teaching approach that satisfies the needs of students who are focused on careers in the Leisure and Health Industries.

Off-campus Internships and professional certification serve as the threshold for graduation requirements. This increases students’ access to and contact with the jobs market, which will welcome them. We also provide summer Internships that allow 320 hours of hands-on experience. All of this promotes practical skills and a pragmatic approach to skills development.

Furthermore, our department has various contractual agreements with nationwide leisure business companies. Known as the Graduation Employment Contract, this important post-Internship agreement allows the most excellent students to move directly from training to employment. We foster a precious link between industry and academia.

Our International Tourism Program provides an opportunity for students to take full advantage of interdisciplinary learning. In combining with English courses as a training basis, these courses teach students necessary aspects of the global tourist industry interactions. Students come away with a better understanding of current and future trends in domestic and international tourism and the leisure service industries. Students also learn necessary skills in marketing—knowledge that can be applied directly in their careers.
