MBA Hospitality 

MBA

Are you looking to work in the challenging and fast-paced hospitality industry? This programme helps you develop the specific knowledge and skills needed to move into hospitality management. It is aimed at recent graduates or those with limited work experience.

The programme develops the knowledge and skills you need to enter a wide range of hospitality positions, both nationally and internationally. It develops personal competence across a broad spectrum of generic management areas, but also contextualises understanding firmly in the hospitality sector. You benefit from interaction with participants from a diverse range of subjects and cultural backgrounds.

The course is structured to take you sequentially from the fundamentals of hospitality management through to more detailed consideration of issues such as globalisation. You gain a broad, yet critical, understanding of the hospitality sector and modern business practices. This provides you with a balanced perspective that enables you to tackle a wide range of hospitality roles with confidence.

The dissertation will give you the opportunity to pursue a particular interest of your own. This capitalises on your skills as a graduate and allows you to develop your business insight in a specific area of the hospitality sector.
