What you will learn
Develop Real Hospitality Expertise
The hospitality industry is unique. Managers need to navigate seasonal fluctuations, 24/7 customer-facing service, high-value premises, and a breadth of talent to manage. Our MSc in Hospitality Management explores fundamental business principles but through a hospitality lens. Learn what operating with agility really means. The program teaches you the nuances of talent management, marketing, revenue strategies, logistics and customer centricity for an industry where change is ever present. It gives you the tools to analyse data, trends and stakeholder values to make good decisions, even in fast-changing situations, training you to become an effective leader.
Specialize as you study: during the second semester, you will focus your studies on one of the following streams:
o F&B Management:
The food service sector has a high-growth potential, yet restaurants themselves face a highly competitive landscape. This program route takes you through innovative strategies for developing profitable business models and meeting evolving customer expectations.
o Hospitality Finance, Real Estate and Consulting:
Hotel investments are expected to increase globally, and it comes at a time when hospitality businesses are implementing new operating, business, and financing models. Learn how to optimize hotel assets and businesses from a financial point of view to achieve profitability at this opportune time.
