In the Bachelor's degree program in Hotel Management, students learn how to run hotels in an economically professional manner while meeting the needs of guests in the design of the services offered. The range of tasks of hotels and catering businesses is wide: hotel managers must be able to design the processes in their business effectively and with high quality. In doing so, they must manage the hotel profitably, motivate their employees and offer experiences for the guests. To meet these challenges, experts are needed who can react professionally to the different needs and requirements and implement this within the hospitality business.
The Hotel Management degree program enables graduates to make a career in tourism in a variety of ways: For example, with the aim of working as F&B managers, in marketing or in hotel project management. In doing so, they always have the needs of the guests in mind and at the same time keep an eye on the business requirements of the hotel business.
