Hotel Management - Hospitality Management

As a Bachelor of Hotel Management, you are a professional who is perfectly at home in the fascinating world of hospitality. The Hospitality Management specialisation offers a high level of professional knowledge and skills, three or four foreign languages, a strong economic foundation, good ICT skills, the ability to work in a team, presentation skills and international experience.

Hospitality Management students are dynamic and interested in frequent social contacts, challenges and creative teamwork. A prior qualification from a catering school is not required. There is more to learning than studying alone. If you want, you can join SorHoMa, the student club for Hotel Management. The student club organises all kinds of activities for the students in the programme and a colloquium with keynote speakers from the hospitality sector.

Practical experience

The programme is highly focused on practical experience. This is illustrated by the many projects, industry contacts and internships. During the ‘Café CuiZien’ project, for example, you and a number of fellow students will develop your own catering business by engaging in teamwork and by combining your language and presentation skills and your creative, economic and hospitality competencies.

Direct contact with people in the field is an essential part of the course. In the first year, you will complete a one-week exploratory internship. In the second year, you will do a 6-week operational internship. The third year includes an 18-week management internship.

So what is a lecture like?

During your Hotel Management programme, you will be taught in small groups. Our differentiated approach and (individual) tutor support have gained us an excellent reputation. The general part of the course focuses on management, languages (French, English, German or Spanish), hotel and hospitality, social skills and teamwork. During the programme’s third year, you will specialise in what appeals to you most.
