The curriculum is carefully structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of hospitality operations, strategic management, analytics, and global business practices. All students complete a set of required modules that build core competencies in both technical and managerial areas. Information Technology for Hospitality focuses on digital systems and technological tools that support operational efficiency, while Global Business and International HRM explores the complexities of managing people and organizations in an international context. Performance and Revenue Management and Hotel Asset Management develop expertise in pricing strategies, forecasting, financial performance evaluation, and value creation. Business Analytics Fundamentals strengthens quantitative and data-driven decision-making skills, and Project Management equips students with the tools to plan and execute projects effectively. Strategy and Innovation for Hospitality emphasizes competitive positioning and sustainable growth, while Intercultural Communication for Business enhances the ability to work effectively across diverse cultural environments. In addition to these required modules, students may choose between completing a Research Thesis, which allows for in-depth academic investigation of a specialized topic, or undertaking an Internship, which provides practical industry experience. Together, these components ensure that graduates develop strong analytical, strategic, and leadership skills tailored to the dynamic global hospitality sector.
