Programme profile
In this programme, you learn how to successfully lead a business in the international hospitality industry, as a manager or entrepreneur. You learn to translate the wishes of a guest into an appealing, customer-oriented product or service. You learn how to find the right balance between 'how do I run my business' and 'how do I pamper my guests'. It is not uncommon for successful management trainees to reach general manager positions in large hotels within five to seven years of starting their career.
The focal point of the first year is to offer a full scope of the international hospitality business. You will become familiar with the basics of hotel-, tourism-, leisure- and facility management.
