Basic Information

Introduction

Since 2008, with the Title of Expert in Revenue Management, the Rey Juan Carlos University has become a leader and pioneer in Revenue Management training in Spain and Europe thanks mainly to the professional teaching staff that makes up the faculty, the internships in the best companies and the MR simulator handled by the students. In addition, the university is in the QS ranking, standing out among the 150 best universities in the world in Hotel Management.

The change of the title from Expert to Master is given by the current strategic and holistic conception of Revenue Management integrating with the Commercial, Marketing department that has originated in the companies of the tourism sector the Department of Business Development. However, most of the current directors of Business Development come from the area of ​​Revenue Management, but in many cases they lack commercial training. In this sense and to prepare these new professionals that the sector already demands, the Master in Revenue Management, Business Development and Big Data has been created, incorporating Marketing and Commercialization content into Revenue Management content.

Some important milestones that support us:

  • The Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation and the hotel chain Nh Hotel Group have been the main partners of the Revenue Management Programs since the beginning.
  • In 2012, British Airways requested to teach content and recruit students who had completed the degree.
  • Melia Hotels International and Nh has been recruiting our students at the beginning of the course for four years.
  •  Infojobs already in 2014 referred to the URJC as the university where most of the directors of Revenue Management in our country had been trained.
