Travel Office of the Polytechnic University of Jihlava

Students can also complete their compulsory internship in the school travel agency. Since 7 March 2008, the VŠPJ has been the owner of a concession to operate a travel agency. The office at the VŠPJ was established to create an environment for our students to gain practical experience in the industry and to organize field learning experiences for students in the Bachelor of Tourism program.
