Course summary

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. Learn to lead Whether you’re joining us straight after your last course, or you’ve been working for a few years, a degree is the perfect way to take the next step in your career. You’ll learn the ins and outs of the industry, taught by experts with years of experience managing and advising successful businesses. Recent events have shown us just how important it is to have good leaders in this business. We’ve adapted our course to acknowledge the latest developments in hospitality – from innovative new business models to tighter control of finances. Start your career ready to succeed. Immerse yourself in the hospitality scene With our strong links to the industry, we know what employers are looking for. We’ve designed the course to give you everything you need to jump straight into work after you graduate. We’ve also adapted our course content because of the pandemic – many businesses in our sector are facing new challenges, so graduates with business acumen will be especially valuable. Of course, your dream career might start before you’ve even finished the course. Many students go on placement with local businesses – and some are offered a full-time role if one becomes available. There are plenty of opportunities to network with organisations like the Manchester Hotel Association and employers across the sector. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
