Courses in Wellness

Wellness is the field concerned with a person's overall wellbeing, physical, mental and social, through activities, services and lifestyles oriented towards prevention and quality of life. Master's programmes in Wellness are aimed at graduates in sport science, health disciplines, psychology, economics and tourism and at sector professionals who want to acquire the skills to design and manage services and facilities dedicated to wellbeing.

The programmes include management of wellness centres and spas, design of wellness programmes, physical activity and health, nutrition and lifestyles, relaxation techniques and stress management, wellness tourism, marketing and communication, customer management, innovation and technology for wellness, sustainability and sector regulation. Lessons combine theory, workshops, business cases, meetings with professionals and internships at centres, hotels and companies.

A master's in Wellness lets you develop managerial and service design skills, learn the principles of health promotion, learn to manage facilities and teams and build offers consistent with clients' needs. Many paths also strengthen communication, attention to the individual's experience and the use of digital tools for booking, loyalty and analysis of results.

Professional prospects depend on the starting profile and the chosen specialisation and include roles such as wellness centre or spa director, wellness manager, service designer, consultant for hotels and resorts, sales manager and trainer, at spas, hotels, sports centres, thermal baths and companies producing wellness products and technologies. Health-related or treatment activities require specific qualifications and licences and do not fall within a management-oriented master's.

Attention to prevention, active ageing and the demand for wellness experiences in tourism are making the sector increasingly relevant.

Many master's programmes are compatible with working life thanks to part-time options, weekend lessons and online paths.
