Subject

International hospitality management

Our Hospitality and Hotel Management degree aims to enhance lifelong learning skills and personal development so you can work with self-direction and originality and contribute to the hotel industry and society at large. The programme aims to produce graduates who are global citizens and who approach their personal and professional lives from a sustainable perspective.

The programme will develop your managerial and intellectual skills, including critical reasoning, analysis, creativity and reflection, so you can show an in-depth knowledge and appreciation of the nature of hospitality and hotel management, the characteristics of the hotel guest and implications for the management of service encounters.

The programme aims to prepare you for a career, or career development, within the hotel and hospitality sector by developing appropriate professional skills. This is done by giving graduates the knowledge and understanding of the external environment and its effects at local, national and international levels upon the hospitality and hotel sectors.

You will graduate with a systematic understanding of the structure, management and marketing of organisations within the hospitality industry.

This programme provides hotel placements for students across the UK which is a compulsory part of the programme - providing you with industry employment experience.

This course sits in a wide group of smaller subjects that don't necessarily have that much in common - so bear this in mind when you look at any employment data. Most graduates took a hospitality, events management or tourism-related course, but there are a group of sports and leisure graduates in here as well who do different things. Events management was the most common job for graduates from this group of subjects, and so it’s no surprise that graduates from specialist events management courses did better last year than many of the other graduates under this subject umbrella - but all did about as well as graduates on average or a little better. If you want to find out more about specific job paths for your chosen subject area, it's a good idea to go on open days and talk to tutors about what previous graduates went on to do, or to have a look at university department websites.
