MSc Hotel Management
Inspirations for endless possibilities
With the rapid development of the tourism industry worldwide and more so for in the hospitality industry, it has now become necessary for us to introduce the master’s degree in hotel management. A first degree in tourism and hospitality management has so far allowed our graduates to accede to junior and mid-management positions within the industry. With this master’s, graduate will now be in a position to embark on a long-term career that will eventually take them to greater advancement. To be consistent with the business environment, it has now become necessary to have a postgraduate programme that will satisfy students as well as employers who are always looking for high calibre managers for the industry.
The aim of the programme is to provide a master’s level qualification in order to enable junior and/or mid-level managers to look at a better career perspective in terms of advancement and promotion. With this qualification, graduates will be land on jobs that was before rather restrictive because of inadequacy of know-how, expertise and experience.Career Prospects
- Allow graduates to be recruited directly at senior management level without having necessarily to climb up the ladder from very basic positions like it is now for diplomates and undergraduates.
