The Hotel Management program educates students in all the academic and practical disciplines needed to succeed in the International Hospitality and Tourism Industry. The course is developed and classes presented to embrace the Three Pillars Approach to teaching - Professional Development, Practical Skills and Theoretical Knowledge. After completion of the program you will have been provided with advanced knowledge and competencies which will enable you to be successful in the business world on management level.
Students will also learn from the inside about the high complex and specialised world of hospitality but will receive cutting edge creative, people and management skills combined with traditional know-how that is essential for a hospitality management career. Students are expected to participate actively in every phase of their highly internationalized and multicultural training program and schedule. Students will attend lectures, seminars and tutorials but will at the same time be exposed to rigorous teamwork and sessions to develop learning discipline, leadership and ethics. On a daily basis they will gain hands-on experience in every role across the sectors in the Hotel Industry and will receive feedback daily on their performance.
