BA (Hon’s) International Hotel Management (Online Blended)

• These programmes are designed to produce graduates with both a strong academic understanding and practical skills fit for the industry.
• Feedback from employers tells us that many undergraduate hospitality programmes produce graduates with good theoretical knowledge, but who lack practical experience.
• The vocational emphasis of the programmes puts the graduates in a particularly strong position when applying for jobs and graduate management training schemes, such as the prestigious Marriott “Voyager” Graduate Management Training programme. 
• Whilst other graduates choose to progress within family-owned hotels, other hospitality businesses, consultancy firms etc. Due to the range of skills students obtain on this degree  the graduates are highly sought after for a range of different careers

1. Whichever programme you decide is right for you each year is divided into three academic terms. In the BA programme, you spend the majority of your time studying academic modules, but these are supported by industry placement within a hotel. So if you want to work within the fantastic industry of hospitality this is the programme for you.
2. On placement, you will spend time working in a range of departmental areas. The first having a more operational emphasis with the subsequent experience providing more advanced duties. You can be assured that you will develop enhanced guest service skills and a critical understanding of the operational requirements associated with different departments of a hotel and within the wider hospitality sector.
3. Academic study compliments your practical development, at an all-time supporting your potential career development and the industry understanding that you will require for your future.
4. All graduates achieve a critical understanding of essential management theory and practice, provided within a global context within which hotel organisations operate within, engaging with principles of sustainable business practice. An academic study providing a theoretical foundation of subject knowledge that is then applied within a practical context during the placements at a Hotel.
