Top tips for hospitality courses in Clearing

My name is Christopher Mitchell. I’m the programme lead and admissions tutor for our BSc (Hons) International Hospitality Business Management course. I’m also a principal lecturer in the subject.

What’s the best way to understand hospitality courses?

Try to learn about the hospitality industry and what it involves. That will help you to identify the areas you’re interested in.

There are academic journals and professional bodies in the hospitality and events sector. These are a great source of industry information to help you understand current trends and issues.

Try looking at the Institute of Hospitality website. We’re an educational partner, and you’ll get free membership when you study with us.

You’ll give yourself a head start if you do these things.

How will studying hospitality at university help my career?

The first thing to keep in mind is that you’re entering a dynamic industry.

Our International Hospitality Business Management degree will open up opportunities to work in any hospitality-related sector. You could stay in the UK or work abroad.

The degree covers a range of units that will teach you core industry skills and knowledge. You’ll also have the option to specialise in event management, tourism and hospitality events, international tourism or hotel management.

The course focuses on building your professional profile while you study. We work closely with our industry partners to give your studies context and create valuable work experience opportunities.
