Diploma in Hospitality Management
This programme is intended for graduates and
diploma holders who wish to pursue a career in
hospitality. It explores global, political, and
social issues within the context of the hospitality
industry, and also examines current trends, focusing
on issues facing managers in terms of corporate
strategy, marketing, financial control, and management
organisation. It is a two year programme - one
year of tuition and one year of paid work placement
at a UK hotel.
The practical nature of the programme prepares
students for the work placement period during
which students can consolidate their learning
in the hotel environment. Students complete the
programme with a dissertation which should be
on a particular aspect of the hospitality industry,
and draw on experience gained during the work
