ESHS maintains a close cooperative relationship with University Pablo Olavide, one of the pioneers among the Spanish universities in the fields of investigation and technological development, with the common goal of bettering the professional qualification of the university students and professionals of the hospitality sector. That is why from ESHS and UPO we carry out the execution of postgraduate programs (Master and University extension) in management and direction of hospitality companies as well as programs of specialized training in collective management. These studies promote the investigation and innovation of the tourism and hospitality sector, especially in those areas of interest for the sector such as expansion and strategic development, nutrition, cuisine, or new gastronomic trends. This program will allow the students to develop skills already acquired in other fields, complement them with new abilities and lead them to their practical application in the touristic fields everywhere in the world. It will also promote their business designing skills which will allow them to innovate, investigate, solve problems, and develop new products and services. These internships with partner companies will allow the students to strengthen their skills easing their introduction to the working world.
