Introduction

The Bachelor’s Degree in International Hotel Management programme’s objective is to train students for operational and administrative management positions. The programme combines cutting-edge management science with traditional know-how in international hotel and restaurant management.

Students are expected to participate actively in every phase of this highly internationalized and multicultural academic program, and coursework is reinforced through immediate application of knowledge in practical settings.

The faculty strives to attain outrivaled teaching standards by pushing back the boundaries in their respective disciplines and coursework complements practical training, cultural and technical seminars.

Consisting of a fixed curriculum of required courses, students alternate coursework with practical situations in which they have the opportunity to apply and test what they have learned while attending the Bachelor’s Degree in International Hotel Management programme.

Top Up Bachelor’s Degree

Students have all basic knowledge required. Students then are ready to begin team management, right in School. They develop their analytical capacities, using the wealth of knowledge they now have, devise strategies and then take their first steps in making decisions.

These experiences, in the framework of upcoming practical applications, allow them to begin Management Training in a company without any stress.

Industrial Attachment

Each student will go through a six-month industrial attachment at hotels. This is yet another opportunity to display the learning evidence not only in class but also in practical performance. During and before finishing the industrial attachment, each intern will be evaluated to determine the extent of learning and qualifications of such intern.

The student is expected to gain the confidence to be fully employed at this stage. SDH emphasizes a lot on an internship as internship experiences are key to building exposure as a student or recent graduate. Employers are much more likely to hire someone with internships and work experience – particularly in a competitive industry like the hospitality and tourism.

SDH has strong industry linkages with leading hotel chains, integrated resorts as well as top F&B establishments. Our lecturers keep connected with our students and check on them while they embark on their internship journey.

Course Learning Outcomes

Students, who have by now acquired legal, economic and linguistic capacities, are ready to manage teams at school.

They develop their analytical capabilities, call upon the knowledge accumulated so far, devise strategies and take decisions.
