SPEND YOUR SUMMER STUDYING AT UAM IN MADRID!
July 13-24, 2026
(or June 29-July 24 if you also join the first half of the Summer School of Economics and Business)
Universidad Autรณnoma de Madrid (UAM)โs Summer School โSelected Topics in Tourism, International Hospitality and Attractions Managementโ (STTIHAM) is a unique opportunity to broaden your horizons in one of the most beautiful and liveliest cities of the world, while studying at a top university.
Given our academic strength in the field of Tourism, the economic importance of Tourism in Spain, and that the UN World Tourism Organization is headquartered in Madrid, we created this new summer program in 2024. It is offered at the same time as the last two weeks of our traditional Summer School of Economics and Business (SSEB). If you wish, you can also enroll in the first two weeks of the SSEB (June 29 – July 10, 2026) and take one or two courses closely related to some of the topics you will study at the STTIHAM: Environmental Economics and Policy Analysis: The Theory of Externalities and the Economics of Pollution Control and/or Doing Business in Spain: Cultural and Management Issues.
