Lifelong learning at MU - Dr. Florian Aubke ups his knowledge at Cornell University

At MODUL University Vienna, we not only care about delivering first-class education on undergraduate and postgraduate level; we are also concerned about ongoing education and training for our faculty members.  

Dr. Florian Aubke, faculty member of the Department of Tourism and Service Management, has recently completed the ‘Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investment and Asset Management’ at the prestigious Cornell University. 

The complex developments in the international hospitality industry not only call for expertise in operational aspects and management skills, but also for an understanding of the value of real estate investments, asset management, and negotiation of management contracts between operator, owner, and lender. 

During the course, Dr. Aubke interacted with some senior employees from around the world to develop a profound knowledge base in hotel real estate management. 

For the university, this new expertise is a logical extension of his teaching portfolio of revenue management and strategic hotel management, and it is anticipated to see some of this know-how in the classroom!
