Course summary

OVERVIEW Our international hospitality business management course will pave the way for a career across the UK or abroad in areas such as hotel and resort management, conferences and catering. Our industry partners are with you every step of the way. You’ll learn first hand how the industry is changing, adapting and overcoming obstacles, from managers and alumni in the know, and in real-time. You will learn the hospitality fundamentals including global business landscape, contemporary issues, business entrepreneurship and cross-cultural management. You’ll also be able to choose from other options in hospitality and tourism to help you personalise the course around your own interests and career goals. We make sure you get a good mix of classroom work and practical sessions. One day you might be learning about operations in a lecture, the next you might be on a tour of a kitchen with the head chef. Here you’ll learn all about menus, food waste and sustainability, and the cost implications of homegrown vs bought-in products. Since this course has an international focus, you can study a language as one of your option modules throughout each year with us. You can also take advantage of our international links with organisations like American Hotel Academy (Romania) or International Management Institute (Switzerland). Your final year research project is a chance to really show off your expertise and specialise in a subject. You can choose your own topic or base it on something you discovered on your placement. This course has a foundation year available. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
