If you are planning a career as a manager in the catering, leisure, tourism, or hotel industries, this course will give you a detailed grounding in the business and management skills and the technical aspects of the industry. The course provides a platform for later career specialisation after initial management development into areas such as Marketing, Financial or Personnel Management. The course will take two years full-time to complete and lectures are held over three days a week to allow students the opportunity to work part time.
Practical experience forms an important part of the course.
You will spend up to six months working in the industry. Placements will be in the UK and some potentially abroad. You will also be paid a wage during your placement. The aim of the placement is to provide a sound base of industrial experience, while relating the concepts acquired on the course to a realistic working environment. The placements can take place in a variety of hospitality, leisure and tourism organisations.
