Course Overview

Our philosophy is to inspire future hospitality leaders to transform practice, think critically and have the confidence to implement their ideas. We will help you to be innovative and forward-thinking, to manage complex businesses effectively and to develop these businesses by thinking strategically.

As part of your course, you’ll:

• Develop your project management skills by devising, developing and successfully implementing an array of hospitality events guided by industry

• Put theory into practice and see hospitality in action, with visits to local industry

• Work on live projects, such as devising social media communication plans for restaurateurs, designing and developing an exceptional guest welcome or creating a strategy for hoteliers and bars based on data and market insights on the latest trends in the sector

There is an opportunity to negotiate your own assessments, tailor the course to your own interests and goals, and undertake ongoing training throughout your course in specific industry interests and qualifications.

If you choose to study our sandwich option – a year of paid employment in the industry – you’ll spend your third year working in the hospitality industry, gaining the practical skills you need to be a successful leader in the sector. Our placement students have worked at companies both at home and abroad including the Radisson Blu here in Leeds and La Gorce Country Club in Miami.
