The aim of this Programme is to prepare Students for a rewarding career in hotel management operations. It develops Students’ critical thinking and refines their analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills as well as their managerial skills, abilities and competencies essential to all professional managers in the hospitality field.
Students learn about the social, economic and environmental context in which the hotel industry operates and the structure, nature and operating characteristics of the different departments of a hotel unit such as Front Office, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, Customer Service, Leisure & Recreation, Event mgt as well as marketing and sales promotions.
Furthermore, Students are given the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and skills they have acquired through work placement schemes organized by the College and approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth.
Intended learning outcomes:
Language of instruction: English.
Evidence of knowledge of English
Candidates whose native language is not English will be required to produce evidence of proficiency in written and spoken English, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT) with a score of 46-59, the IELTS with a minimum score of 5.5, the GCE O.L or I.G.C.S.E in English language with a passing grade of at least “C”, or any other equivalent internationally recognized examination.
Foundation Year
In case evidence of any of the aforementioned qualifications is not provided, the candidate will be expected to pass the College’s English Language Test, (CELT). The College is using the internationally recognized Oxford placement test. If candidates do not succeed in this test they will be classified according to their score in one of the levels of Intensive English Courses, as indicated below, and they will be automatically registered in the Foundation Programme. This can only occur if Students satisfy all other admission requirements.
