Course Description

OVERVIEW

Want to top up your credits from a previous course, such as a Higher National Diploma or a foundation degree? You can join our international hospitality business management top-up programme to earn a full degree. Over one year (or two with a placement), you’ll study a wide range of topics to prepare you for an exciting career in hospitality or tourism.

As well as building your knowledge of the sector and developing your business skills, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to gain practical experience. Many modules have a hands-on approach and you can choose to go on a work placement after the course to put everything you’ve learned into practice.

You’ll learn the ins and outs of the industry, taught by experts with years of experience managing and advising successful businesses.
